November 2005

I started working on a documentary that I've been wanting to do for quite a while. It's about three Calgarian Jews who were all involved in the Second World War and their very different and harrowing experiences. They all also happen to be my grandparents. My brother Andy helped me out by being the camera operator (for 3 cameras!) and I did the interviewing. They had some amazing stories to tell.

Andy and I acted in a Crimestoppers re-enactment that aired repeatedly on Shaw TV. Click here to watch it in Real Player. It was quite fun to do and pretty much the first thing we've acted in together outside of Brothers TV.

I was selected to audition for a 17 year old in a Canadian TV series. I don't think I got the role, but felt that it deserved to be mentioned because both my agent and the casting director felt I could pull off a 17 year old... guess when I had a "Sweet 16" themed birthday party a few months ago, I wasn't really that far off!

The teacher of the tap class that I'm taking decided to put together a routine for us to do at Dance Montage, which is a yearly production at the University Theatre. There are 12 dance numbers which cover tap, jazz, ballet, modern, lyrical, funk, and more! My number alone has about 30 people in it, so the shows pretty much all sell out just from friends and family of the dancers!

The High School Reunion Dinner Theatre shows have been continuing and seem to get better each time we do them. The touring school shows have also been happening a lot, which I really enjoy doing as well.

And the latest video project I've landed is for an erotic dance instructor who wants DVD's she can sell that are basically how-to videos! That should definately be an interesting shoot. And since things are going so well with my video production company, I've actually been able to hire a part-time office assistant. He's been helping me get caught up with paper work and with some promotional stuff, primarily for wedding videos. I have to say being a boss is pretty cool!
