Hey everyone, hope the new year is going well for you so far. If January is a sign of things to come, it's going to be an awesome year for me!

Here's what happened in January:

• I got a grant to make a short film! The government has given me a few thousand bucks to produce and star in a short film that I wrote. It'll be shot in the spring in Calgary by a professional Director of Photography and when it's done I'll be submitting it to film festivals all over Canada, plus a few in other countries as well!
• I landed the lead role in another short film. This one was for Vancouver Film School and was a fun little script. I spent 5 long days on set (up to 14 hours each day) but it was a good time and I met lots of cool people.
• Got a copy of another one of the scenes I did for the first student project that I was in when I first moved to Vancouver.  I'll put it up on YouTube in the next few days.
• Hired an editor who's started to put together the skits from the sketch comedy pilot that my brother & I did this summer. It'll be great to have that done and see all the funny stuff we worked so hard on back in July & August finally put together!
• Shot my first virtual tour for the online real estate video company that I've been hired by. If you want to see a nice million dollar home in Langley, check out http://www.albertaweddingvideos.com/RabbitView/langley.html
• Flew to Calgary yet again, this time to attend and photograph my grandmother's 90th birthday party.  It seems like I spend almost as much time back in Calgary as I do in Vancouver!
  
  

News on what's coming up:

• I'm heading off to Arizona for 10 days to hang out with my parents and brother. I'm looking forward to a warm, sunny break!
• I’ll be taping more virtual tours of houses on a pretty regular basis as the year goes on.
• The Deborah Cox show that I'll be dancing in (for the opening act) will be happening on February 28th. Details at http://www.celebritiesnightclub.com/upcoming_events/2008/02/deborah-cox-live

And that's about it for now. As usual, thanks for reading and I'll be back in a month with more news!

Everyone in Vancouver tells me I look like Jon Cryer!
