It’s pretty exciting to have moved our production offices into Studio 31.

The Studio opens up a world of new possibilities. We are now able to experiment with a range of new lighting set-ups and styles prior to a shooting day. The plan is also to develop a few products which can be produced at a high quality but at reasonable cost. Most of our videos were shot at Studio 31 over the past two years, so we are quite familiar with the space - it’s just become quite seamless now.

We spent a bit of time sexing-up the production offices, it feels good …the doors are open.

A Public Service Announcement (PSA) funded by the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development. The PSA will be screened at Empire Theaters across Canada during the month of October.

I’ve included some pictures taken at the first screening of the PSA. Following the PSA, foster and adoptive children and parents were hosted by the Ministry for a screening of Kung Fu Panda and Pizza.

I was amazed at how charming the kids were …even after being jacked-up on pop. My hat off to the parents who have opened their hearts and homes and who strive to give all kids an equal and fair chance.

A seamless production with a team that struck synergy in every aspect. We managed to sneak some photos during the production, which was a first - so I thought I’d post them. Catherine teaches a Body Ball Workshop which was produced into a DVD review guide as well as a Workout DVD and has already started seeing sales.

A sustainable and environmental film festival that caught Vancouver by surprise. With a phenomenal turnout, engaging guest speakers and a diverse selection of films.

The most outstanding aspect …the viewers the festival attracted and the debates and discussions the films inspired. A community I felt that truly cared about the welfare of others and our planet.

Once I started recording interviews I realized quickly that people deserve to be heard on these issues. This confirmed the importance of these films and the importance of a strong, global platform giving voice to the guardians of our planet.
