Art

I've written, produced, directed, or acted in several short films, some of which were accepted and screened at film festivals in collab with Sebastian Harder. Here is one of the first comedic shorts I did. My collaborators and I were super jazzed to once have a weird comedy short written and directed by Andrew Gormley be featured by the JASH (Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim and Eric, and Reggie Watts) 'Buh' comedy channel. I've also written and performed comedy, and had a couple of independent exhibits in the vein of new media / installation art.

I'm very grateful to the CFAT New Media Scholarship which afforded me about 6 months of dedicated focus and a mentor, Stephen Kelly. This support was instrumental in participating in my first public exhibition at the Nocturne Art at Night Festival and a commissioned work for the Atlantic Canada Ice Awards.

I think it's important to note that some of what I've done I consider total, embarassing failures. I wonder if others also sense a growing culture of projecting (unrealistic) perfection. It kills creativity and creative risk-taking in broader society. I also suspect that everyone has an artistic side, but it's just relatively privileged people that are given opportunities to explore that side of themselves.

Here are a few of the artsy things I've had time to get up on this site (click on the headings for more details):
