About me

I recently directed the award winning feature film Stolen Path and Sharp as Marbles as well as directing the award winning documentaries Rocky Mountains Encounter, Magical History Tour and The Honest Truth. I have fifteen years experience as a dramatic and comedy director also functioning as 2nd unit director on several feature films and television series as well as twenty-five years of expertise filming natural history / wildlife in every province and territory of Canada. I received his bachelor’s degree in film from Bedford U and have been awarded “Best Director” from the 40th Anniversary Telly Awards, Docs without Borders Film Festival, Accolade Film Awards and Royal Wolf Film Awards as well as the Directors Screen Awards top prize, the Platinum Award in 2020.

I offer several properties ready for production including the acclaimed event series Stutthof Diaries, a true story based on the only surviving journal from the Stutthof concentration camp. It is a chronicle of romance and survival as revealed through the lives of the Norwegians and tells of their encounter with the Nazi hatred especially towards Jewish people.

Additional information:
I can provide my own Sony Venice, FX9, Alpha 1 and A7S mkIII as well as an arsenal of lenses, heads, tripods and drones.
