  • Kill Road

    “Enduring a dysfunctional family requires stamina, wit and sharp survival instincts, as demonstrated in this anguished ode to family peculiarity. A pixilated tale of a girl whose off-kilter parents become lost in a mission to nurse a raccoon – an unfortunate road-kill victim.” – Images Festival, 2004 AWARDS: Images Prize for Best Canadian Media Artwork in the Festival, Images Festival of Independent Film and Video, Toronto, 2004

  • Obedience

    A wealthy landowner battles his wayward son in a southern gothic story of power, sex and cruelty, set in 19th-century South Carolina. A harsh, unflinching look at the results of racism and abuse.

  • This Boy

    Set in 1965, “This Boy” is a funny and charming film which traces an afternoon in the life of Kit, an imaginative, ardent tomboy of eleven who idolizes John Lennon and secretly goes about dressed like him. One spring afternoon, Kit and her best friend Mike decide to pay a visit to their classmate Holly, Kit’s crush. What begins as a light-hearted adventure shifts as the two friends get further from home. Kit and Mike are surprised by what they see en route, and even more so by their own actions and poorly understood desires.

  • My Heart Belongs to Daddy

    “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” is a story about the zany mis-education of a small-town queen. Lennie wants nothing more than to be Miranda Richardson. Lennie’s daddy wants nothing less. Determined to achieve his goal of becoming a “somebody,” Lennie enters an amateur drag contest, only to find the path strewn with heartbreak and betrayal. A kooky comedy about lust, revenge and looking for love in all the strange places. Awards: Winner Best Director, Best Use of Music at the Hollywood North Underground Movie Festival, Toronto, 2003
