Had a great time chatting ‘bout my path into screenwriting at Hamilton Film Festival with Hamilton Film Board this past weekend.
Being on a stage without violently loud amplifiers drowning out my voice was strange but still a good time. #screenwriting

Dead List day is always a good day! Some wild loglines on here to sink your teeth into and, speaking of teeth--
Stoked to have something a little different on the Dead List this time around. My body horror short story, The Thing With Teeth, is available to read! #TheDeadList

I tried to get away from that trope in a recent script, haha. Used a digital picture frame instead.

Another day, another draft of a short story. Idk, man. Writing, without a plan, for the sake of letting the mind take over narrative control, just feels right. #writing

Long walk through Toronto today to make some pictures. I can’t believe I caught the first one.
What a thrill it is learning and experiencing joy through a new art form.

It’s funny how, before sobriety, when bleak things built up in me, I’d choose self-destruction to escape, but now, it’s all creation and embracing it like some vital, extra limb I tried, for too long, to sever. A poet in no hurry, these days. Some signs of life, recently. #photography #fujifilm

I think about this Raymond Souster poem at least once a week and every time it curls back out from my subconscious, it makes me shudder.

New camera day. Upgraded to an X-Pro 2 with a Fuji 16mm f2.8. Got the bundle a steal. Very excited to go out and shoot. Coupla' shots from the train home with it. #photography #fujifilm

Stoned by the fire, watching one of my favourite films — Revolutionary Road — and burning evidence of nearly two years of work, the final pass. Rituals, man. We all got ‘em.
Summertime never felt so beautifully bitter.

One final pass on this absolute nightmare of a body horror movie and, of course, I had to make a new poster for it.

Just about every scene in Cure does it for me but this one in particular left me absolutely shook for some reason, haha.

Very stoked my horror feature, OTHER HALF, made the @scriptpipeline.bsky.social Quarterfinals.
Sometimes turning personal hells into vividly horrifying stories pays off. A total fuck-it script.

Happy Bourdain Day to those who celebrate.
If I still drank, I'd pour one for him.
Instead, I'll smoke a cigarette
and read some of his work.
Rest easy.
