I was fortunate to work with the production team to produce three short webisodes for TVO about the feature length film, THE LONG WEEKEND (2022). Edited by Carole Larsen and directed by Katie Lamer, these three companion pieces provide further information about Algonquin’s past, present and future.
We're All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel) CraveTV Series World Premiere
HOT DOCS 2022 Official Selection
From Nostradamus to the Book of Revelations, we are a species obsessed with our potential extinction. We're perpetually paranoid about cataclysmic events, and yet we're still here—for now. Jay Baruchel dives into our collective fears to dispel (or in some cases verify) the hype and calculate the odds of apocalyptic events, from nuclear Armageddon to a massive asteroid impact. Visiting bomb shelters and questioning experts, he discovers the real risks we face may be the ones we ignore. With his playful wit and boundless curiosity, Baruchel takes what could be a depressing issue and somehow manages to find light in the darkness. We all know we're gonna kick the bucket sooner or later, but it's the how that makes for an entertaining guessing game in this non-fiction series.

Promising Young Woman and Sofa Queens Episode 5 "Iced Capps and Sass"
Last night I had the privilege through The Hollywood Reporter to watch a screener of PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, written and directed by Emerald Fennell and starring one of my favourite actresses, Carry Mulligan. THIS IS A MUST WATCH. I can’t say this enough. Emerald is a force to be reckoned with and wrote such a raw, real and immediate story that I think 99% of women identifying people can relate to. Also Mulligan is so grounded, calm and just such a force onscreen.
