I can’t wait to get a chance to finish up this film, Jinx. The problem is that the longer I take, the higher the expectations rise, but it was all really just an excuse to hang out with some friends, which caused a lack of finesse in the filmmaking that’s drawing out the post-production process just to make it watchable. A glasses-free Kevin Lam makes an appearance in this still. I say glasses-free because they were violently removed for him by a soccer ball moments before this shot. True story.

My friend Shyam Valera and I acted together for the first time. Here is a scene from that thing.


I stress that this is rough, that the music is temporary, and the colour is not final. But hopefully it can convey the tone of the film which I’ll upload if it ends up being any good.


Clip set up: Shyam and I are mutually ‘jinxed’, which I take far too seriously. He cares more about the fact that we have to SING in a talent show that day, a fact that I have only just realized now

We finished the first day of filming Jinx. And it got ‘hectic’.

More from the shooting of our new short.

We couldn’t sing at him, and we couldn’t ignore the ridiculousness. The internet was our only way to call out the grade 11 kid acting *way* too cool.


More video from the set of Jinx!

In retrospect, they had to pack a lot of things and people into that beemer. But we were wasting gasoline.
