R. Flex - Photoshoot in Toronto
R. Flex is an R&B singer / songwriter located in Toronto. They are also a friend and before they were R. Flex and I was freelancing in Toronto, we were in school together and they were spicing up my life with their wit, MAJESTIC VOICE, and slamming it hard at the Poetry Slams I co-ran at school with our mutual friend.
Editing a Party Scene - Sofa Queens Episode 3
Have you ever watched a film and thought - WOW! I want to go to that party? There are the traditional films that make use feel like we can’t breathe: Bridesmaids, Eurotrip, American Pies, The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of Wallstreet, etc. etc. etc. I’m interested in the more nuanced, this is a party but there is so much more going on here, type scenes. Here are a few I am going to brag about.

This past summer, I made a pledge to up my anti and get into scripted content. I took a course a year before at LIFT for Web Series writing. I have written any number of pilot scripts - some which have never seen the light and others that are still in development. I thought tackling the world of short-form writing was a good way for me to stay connected to one story and didn’t tax me too much with my full time job.
THE ALIENS premiere in Toronto at Coal Mine Theatre
Having read the reviews before watching the production on stage, I realized I was preparing myself for all those moments the critics reported: silences, the feelings of loss, frustrating unrealized potential, the perfect play for millennial misfits, etc. What I didn't expect was the tears. I was barely able to clap and woot at the end, so much was I chocking on emotions that Annie Baker brought out through sparse dialogue.
