I'm the lead (and only) actor in a commercial that won't air, but will be
submitted to the Big Rock Eddies contest.
It took about 6 hours to actually shoot all the footage. When you consider that, along with all the hours of
preperation, set up, tear down, editing, and more, and the fact that no one gets paid (unless the commercial wins)
you can see just how crazy people like me are about our craft!
We'll find out in April if the commercial made it to the top 18. If it did, it will be shown at the Eddies ceremony
and judged that night for consideration in the top spots.

Although it looks like we're shooting a porn, don't worry, it's just part of the comedy in the commercial!
When I get a completed copy of the commercial I'll put it on my web site.
I've finally expanded the Photo Gallery to include a variety of different photos.
It is now split up into 4 sections: Headshots, Shows/Performances, Vacations, and Family/Friends. Most of it is still under construction, but a lot has
been completed, so check it out!
Well, they say things change quickly in television, and they're right! We never did work with the producers in Edmonton, and our involvment with the Calgary producer has faded away as well. She has been busy with other projects and rarely, if ever, had time for us, so we decided to go back to working on our project alone. We also went back to our original concept since we had received a lot of positive feedback on it from producers at the Pitchfests as well as from friends and family.
So what now? Well, things are actually moving full steam ahead, and looking better than ever! We're currently in talks with tv stations in Alberta to purchase paid television programming locally/provincially so that we can actually start shooting and airing episodes of our show by this summer! We're working on getting sponsorship deals with a variety of businesses in order to cover all the costs. Actually getting our show on the air will give us the exposure, experience, and footage we need to get more attention from the big wigs. We'll be starting with a 13 week committment, and possibly continuing after that if all goes well.
It's been and continues to be a lot of time, work, and sacrifice... but it's all worth it because we're going to make our dream come true!
