Two short films I've had involvement in are screening for the Toronto #LiftOffFilmFestival until June 29th:

First is Ahmad Marouf's lovely piece, EXTRAS, on which I served as Casting Director and Associate Producer.

Second is Nicole Lynne's Drumbo Road, for which I provided some V/O dialogue.

Canada, when you vote today, I urge you to vote for a party that HASN'T promised to essentially criminalize homelessness.

Pierre Poilievre's Personal Assistant Explains His Election Policies

If you call yourself a Christian, but consider empathy a sin or a weakness, you have tragically misunderstood the nature of God as revealed in Christ.

Oh well done, Ontario. You’ve re-elected a fat cat whose chief objective is to stuff his own pockets and the pockets of his fellow fat cats. How is this not glaringly obvious? #onpoli

“I’ll ready the refreshments. You focus on the mournful signage.”
Mr. Milchick, #Severance Season 2, Episode 5

“I wouldn’t trust a word out of that mountebank’s mouth. Not even televisually.” - Irving in #Severance Season 2 Episode 4.

Even if the cause you pursue is just, and even if you do it with humility and kindness, as sure as the sun will set, someone’s gonna be offended.

Pursue love and justice anyway.

It’s unreal to me right now how some Christians want to paint Bishop Budde’s kind, gentle, respectful, humble, courageous plea for the vulnerable and oppressed as “divisive”.

I think this might be a perfect example of Jesus’ claim that he came to bring division rather than peace (Luke 12:51).

I am all too easily drawn into a sense of outrage - especially in these days.

But God grant me the boldness to speak the truth with genuine kindness and humility like Bishop Marian Budde.

“The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5).

Putting this out there, Lovely Actor Types…

Seems to bear repeating right now:

charisma ≠ character

character > charisma

Well, BlueSky-ers, I’m seeing how this goes. I suppose the easiest way to introduce myself (and indulge in some shameless self-promotion) is to direct you to a record of my efforts as an actor and filmmaker here: imdb.me/melewis
Peace, love, and joy to you all.
