Teaser from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.
It’s an internet musical by the same guy who created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. Doogie Howser is singing!
Acts 1, 2, and 3 are available through iTunes.

When I finished work shortly after 8pm on Tuesday, I felt the urge to purge my brain for a while — or at least fill it with something else. The quickest way for me to do that is to see a film so I checked out what was playing at my local nonprofit movie house, [...]

Mad Money

After work I took the subway WAYYYYYY up north to Sheppard (only my second time that far on the TTC) to catch a screening of the film Mad Money at the Sheppard Centre Cineplex.
Never heard of it? Neither had I, but my mind was troubled and in need of some entertainment. Plus, it was [...]

The Simpsons Intro Live

Maybe it’s all this editing I’m doing, because I don’t even watch The Simpsons and find this fascinating.

I am posting this at a ridiculous hour, for a truly ridiculous reason, which I shall reveal at a less ridiculous moment in time.
Some photos from the Schmoozefest at the Brunswick Theatre, which was well-attended but I spent more time schmoozing than photographing so there are only a few pics:

It’s a Wrap!

It’s amazing we still have enough energy to get on (and off) this couch. The five of us, plus one not pictured but who helped out, just finished 13+ hours of filming. On a Sunday! It wouldn’t seem so long except that last night I was on the phone for a whopping six hours, from [...]

We’re nearly ready to shoot our little comedy — we’ll be filming all day Sunday. I was a bit concerned because our main scene takes place in a coffee house and all of our tentative coffee shop locations had, one by one, fallen through. With each passing day I was wondering [...]

Giggleshorts Comedy Festival

I’m about to head off to volunteer at night #3 of the Giggleshorts Comedy Festival. Before I go, a few pics from last night:

Mia and Geo
Mia Praught played the character of Lisa in String Theory (2007), a short comedy film from Toronto about internet dating.
Geo Pal is the founder and director of the annual Giggleshorts [...]

I watched a demo of video editing on a laptop computer projected onto a large screen this evening, to get a feel for the editing process I’ll be working through after our film gets shot. I’ve done small-scale video editing for my own clips that I put on my website, but I want to learn [...]

I almost didn’t make it to my first screening at the annual Toronto International Film Festival. I arrived home early from work today (top-secret work mission accomplished, by the way!) and tried to nap before heading back out again, but I’m not very good at naps. I’m good at crashing, passing out, falling fast asleep, [...]
