DREAMLAND
A work in progress. Shooting 10,000 frames of time-lapse every single day on my property. Seeing life happen on a different scale. Living paintings of sorts.
JOURNEYS
I was a camera operator on this one and made some timelapse films for Jonathan and Neil. It was a wonderful premiere at TIFF in 2011. Jonathan is a great director. He let me do whatever I wanted to.
CMW/CBC 2012 – MARIE CLAIRE
“The collection of Marie Claire” – Another from the Black Box with Daniel and Brian. A more substantial concert film to come at a later date. This might be my favorite live Lanois arrangement to shoot. A very psychotic commitment in this rendition.
LANDMARKS
Landmarks written by Jon Cowherd * piano (the colonel’s music, bmi.)
Myron Walden * alto saxophone/bass clarinet
Melvin Butler * tenor/soprano saxophone
Chris Thomas * bass

CMW/CBC 2012 – FIRE
I shot and Directed a few shows at the Black Box Theatre with Daniel and Brian for CMW 2012. Here’s a pretty nice trio version of ‘Fire’.
TROUBLE IN MY WAY
“Trouble in My Way” – Brian Blade, with his father Pastor Brady Blade Sr. and the Zion Baptist Church Choir at Duke University along with an all star cast. I shot this back in fall 2009. The rafters were rattling in that old church.
“RED MEANS RUN” TRAILER
Red Means Run is a novel by Brad Smith. I made this little trailer for Brad’s book, around his farm, and his life, where he likes to be alone. Brad’s never been framed for murder though. Please watch it here.
LINCVOLT
Neil Young presents Lincvolt to SEMA in Vegas. Lincvolt is his electric car conversion from the 50′s. He’s developing proprietary technology for all the systems, if a farmer from North Ontario can do it why can’t the big auto manufacturers.
SHOW REEL – TWO
My second ever show reel. More weird and wonderful, a small spattering of time-lapse, and some post fx work from my infancy. enjoy.
SHOW REEL – ONE
A small sampling of my film work with a few quotes from my filmmaker and musician friends. I shot, edited and Directed all of these pieces.
NUIT BLANCHE 2010 – LATER THAT NIGHT AT THE DRIVE-IN
In partnership with Scotiabank and the City of Toronto. Daniel Lanois, Mark Howard and myself worked with a team of experimental film artists, a curator and an team of architects to pull of a 24hr, 100,000 watt (Meyer) surround sound and projection spectacle that occupied an entire city block sized square in front of Toronto City Hall in October of 2010.
WATCH LE NOISE ON YOUTUBE
You can watch the whole film I made with Neil on youtube. Do yourself a favour and watch it with a good stereo system that has a sub and crank it to 11. 38 minutes. There are even comments from people who stole it from there with a downloader app. Can you believe that shit? If you don’t care about quality go ahead and do that, but it’s available on DVD and Blu-ray.
HERE IS WHAT IS – TRAILER
This is a trailer for the film I made with Daniel Lanois and Adam Samuels. It was the first time i’d ever done anything like it. I’d never shot or editied moving picture before, but i’ve been a photographer since I was about 6. It premiered at the Toronto International film festival in 2007. Someday soon I will post the whole film streaming from my site.

LE NOISE – NEIL YOUNG
My most recent work. A collaboration with Neil Young and Daniel Lanois.
I was very priviledged to be involved in an uninhibited way to capture these raw performances on film.
I also provided the imagery to Gary Burden, for the entire packaging design.
BLACK DUB / RING THE ALARM
BLACK DUB PERFORMING THEIR VERSION OF TENOR SAW CLASSIC “RING THE ALARM” – LIVE OFF THE FLOOR. ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM THESE SESSIONS. TOTALLY SPONTANEOUS AND UNPLANNED. IT DOESN’T HURT THAT IT WAS THE PERFECT TIME OF DAY AT LA BELLA VISTA FOR SHOOTING.
