THE BURNING SEASON WINS AGAIN!

13 May

What a god damn thrill to win the 2024 BEST SCREENPLAY at The Writer’s Guild of Canada Awards with my co-writer Jonas Chernick for our indie feature film THE BURNING SEASON. If you’re keeping score (cause I am) that’s three screenwriting awards for this little indie we shot in the middle of Algonquin Park on a tiny budget, a lot of hutzpah and more than a few laughs/tears/stress hives.

Much love to our director Sean Garrity, along with Fab Filippo who helped conceive the original concept of a love story told backwards. Our production manager Geoff Ewart and his pup Ripley kept me sane during a bonkers season of my life. My old buddy Hunter and Ripley were literal therapy dogs on set.

And yes, this was pretty much my acceptance speech at the awards.

2020 Canadian Screen Award nominations!

17 Feb

What the who? How exciting is this!

Nominated for my writing on Corner Gas: Animated AND the 2019 Canadian Screen Awards. Plus, both shows got their own nominations.

Congrats to everyone involved. There are always so many great minds on a single script. There’s no way I can take all the credit, but I will for sure buy a fancy dress and represent for both shows!
