An Exercise in Flexing the Creative Muscle

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with some high school film students from White Oaks Secondary School (WOSS) in Oakville, Ontario.  I had attended WOSS as a student and was pretty much introduced to film/tv production through their Communications & Technologies program, which was/is taught by Dale Andrews.  It was great to see how far the program had come in the 10 years since I had graduated.  While answering questions, providing advice and speaking about my own experiences in the film industry, it became apparent that I needed to take some of my own advice and be more proactive in engaging my creativity. With that in mind, I met up with performer Jamieson Child this past weekend to shoot a small piece as a creative exercise.  My hope is to actively be more creative through the production of smaller projects in between larger ones.  Small steps, perhaps, but exciting nonetheless!  The first piece - of what will hopefully be many - will be available for viewing online later this week!  Stay tuned!
