Posing in Front of a Castle

You’ve all heard of something described as a “show stopper.” Well, this house is a “traffic stopper.” There is usually not a whole lot of traffic in this neighborhood, but you get the idea.

My Sold-out Premiere

Last weekend, my short film, In Memory Of, premiered at the Carlton Cinema in Downtown Toronto. It completely sold out!
