Save British Columbian Film

January 22, 2013

Vancouver and British Columbia have a long history of providing the backdrop for some blockbuster films like First Blood, Juno, Legends of the Fall, Blade and Twilight. We also have had shows like the X-Files, Dark Angel, and Smallville filmed here, not to mention a strong indie scene. Vancouver has a lot to be proud […]

Novels vs Movies

January 9, 2013

I often get asked how different writing a book from a movie is. As the writer of Neutral Territory and the novel A Thousand Bayonets (which I have also written the script for,) I would say I am qualified to answer. I always say, the difference is like comparing apples and oranges. A writer has […]

Neutral Territory is being dubbed into German

June 15, 2012

As writer and producer of Neutral Territory, I always think the movie has reached its life cycle and it’s time to put it on the shelf. But, as the saying goes, there is life in the old girl yet. The movie is being dubbed into German right now in Switzerland. The director Josias Tschanz has […]

A Thousand Bayonets – Chapter One

October 26, 2011

The Shootout John Webster was hiding in the loft of an old abandoned barn, watching and waiting, clutching his voice recorder tightly. stared moronically at the red light, watching the numbers count slowly upward, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, willing the red light to continue and praying the batteries would hold out for him. Below John, five shadowy figures huddled close, […]

Why I love the Surrey Writers’ Conference

October 22, 2011

This is my second year at the Surrey Writers’ Conference and again I’ve enjoyed it as much as I did the first year. I felt like it was a family reunion where I got to see long-lost aunts and uncles. I got to listen to two best selling authors talk about their craft: Robert Dugoni, […]

So It’s just a couple of day until we show Neutral Territory at the Rio. I am both excited and nervous. I am excited because I finally get to show this movie that I have been bragging about for so long to all my friends and family. I know you guys will all enjoy the […]

New York Storm

I’m stuck here in New York, holed up in my hotel room with nothing to do in the city that never sleeps. They have shut down all transit, the tunels and the bridges. Three hundred thousand people have been evacuated from Manhattan. On the bright side we have gotten glow sticks that alternatives as whistles […]

On the Road to New York

August 14, 2011

Sometimes I get into one of those reflective moods and I look how far Neutral Territory has come since we first showed a rough cut to a select few friends. I remember we debated over several scenes. There was this one scene in the original film where one of the characters attacks the dad with […]

How things have changed since I’ve been in Buffalo. I have only recently learned Neutral Territory has gotten into five other festivals, including one in Beijing and one in New York City. We have also been nominated for best picture and best cinematography at the Treasure Coast International Film Festival in Florida. I wish I could […]
