Spark in the Dark premiers Friday April 14th at Dawson City Short Film Festival 2017
My son James and I are excited to launch our film A Spark in the Dark: Tinder Users in the North next week at DCISFF in Dawson City, Yukon. This short doc explores love & technology in the small and isolated town of Dawson City during the sub-arctic winter, revealing touching and humorous insights about life in the far north.
We are also very excited to realize that this is the very first documentary about social media use in the Yukon. The north does indeed provide historic opportunities.
If you can make it most of the crew and participants will be in attendance. We’ll have more screenings info soon.

the grand journey here
The world premiere of my first film will be screening at the Dawson City International Short Film Festival, March 24-27 2016.
An autobiographical narrative that explores the emotional and philosophical texture of landscape and location, this experimental documentary is a collage of time lapses, animation and stream of conscious poetry.
Teaser for my new doc project
Very minimal teaser for the new short documentary my son & I are making.
Three works coming up in Dawson City’s (s)hiver
Dawson City is a thriving creative community. Writers, artists and performers abound here so it makes sense this hardy and eccentric community is equal to the task in creating a mid-winter contemporary art festival. (s)hiver is now in it’s second year and addresses the long dark of winter nights here through outdoor installations and various performances and exhibitions throughout the city. It’s already garnered international attention.
I’ll be participating with three distinct projects: a 2d work installed out in the middle of the frozen Yukon River, a roving performance and projection (wearable technology) throughout Dawson and a permanent series of text-based augmented reality installations.
If you happen to be in Canada’s far north-west that night, stop by and say hi. (I know that sounds ridiculous)
