This holiday, an attempt to build a welcoming Christmas blaze in our new firepace led to a visit from three wise, flameproofed, men. It was three-alarm excitement!
We really, really thought the flue was open, but it turns out it wasn’t… so 1) our smoke alarm went off, then 2) our building’s fire alarm! Which of course meant a visit from the fire department.
But it all turned out OK, calm was restored, it was time for a much smaller, and safer, fire – a birthday candle on my Mom’s cake. (Yes, she’s a Christmas baby!)
Amazing and wonderful how adding some playful interaction – and music! – makes “taking the stairs” irresistible. Props to the Volkswagen folks for making this delightful idea a reality!
Another TV ad I’ve appeared in is online! This one is for Peugeot, and unlike the previous “sumo” ad, I’m very much a bit player – 11 frames, to be exact. But I like to think it’s a memorable third of a second…
This ad will only be seen in Europe – where nobody will likely recognize Stanley Park or the PNE…
A student comes up with a creative way to ace the big exam, but her plan is threatened… in this one-minute wonder of a student film I recently performed in up at Capilano University, directed by Adam J. McKay. Here it is, in all its minute-and-15-second glory. Enjoy!
Artist John Koerner of the Vancouver School is still active and creating new work at age 96. Here is a quick look at the gallery opening of his latest show, “Cosmic”.
Hooray! Nearly three months after I filmed it in a pool at a Kerrisdale apartment complex, my first-ever professional TV ad is available for the world to enjoy. It’s a thrill to see it at last! And to finally see what shots they used, out of all the wackiness that we tried that day.
