Growing Up – Animated Short Film
One intense year of study has come to a close as I have graduated Vancouver Film School and completed my animated short film ‘Growing Up!’ I hope the message of the short film is clear and that it resonates with some people.

11-sec Club – Leftover Thursdays
[Update: I placed 18th out of 202 entries] Fresh out of VFS and I was anxious to keep working! It’s like an addiction! I was talking to my classmates that we should start a support group for recent graduates, ha! You get so accustomed to going to school every day and working, it’s tough to [...]

The biggest news from me recently is I placed 3rd and won $3,800 in the Brisk Tea animation contest. I created this animation concurrent with my school assignments so I didn’t [...]
Video | Contests . . .
I’ve taken quite a long hiatus from entering video contests after not making the finals, or placing, in about one dozen contests last year. The whole crowdsourcing and contest-entering thing can get pretty old pretty quick. It’s great practice but I definitely needed a break and scale back how many I was entering. But, with [...]
