A Light in Midwinter

Here is a movie that I made with MABELLEarts, Winter 2010-11. This film chronicles the experiments with outdoor bread baking in Mabelle Park, a park situated at the heart of a high-density Toronto community housing complex in central Etobicoke. Produced by Leah Houston and MABELLEarts. Music by Elfin Saddle.

Winter Comes

Here is a super 8 movie that I made with Jumblies Theatre two winters ago, starring Tamil Seniors and youth of Scarborough.

Feist Shadow Show

Working with Clea Minaker, Leslie Feist, Noah Kenneally and Dianne Montgomery, we performed shadows at a secret show at the Cameron House. Turning the stage into a living lantern, we created living paintings, manipulated shadows and eventually destroyed the lantern itself. Footage can be seen on the special features of "Look What the Light Did Now."

The show later grew and was performed in Montreal's Casteliers festival. Directed by Clea and Leslie, us shadow puppeteers created and performed the goods.
