About Me

NOTE: EVERYTHING ON HERE IS TERRIBLY OUT OF DATE.
I just spent three weeks roadie-ing on the road with THE PACK A.D. Damn! Living the rock'n'roll dream.
I used to program & host the Sunday night cinematic extravaganza BERTRAND'S BIZZARO FILM-O-RAMA at THE GAFF GALLERY.
I was at one time the Producer's Assistant/Script Coordinator on FLASH GORDON.
I'm also a screenwriter/filmmaker/producer guy. Good stuff includes: METHODS IN GOOD BREEDING, 13 STEPS, and CABIN OF TERROR, which won the Jury Prize for "BEST FILM" at the 2007 Bloodshots Canada 48 Hour Horror Filmmaking Competition.

13 STEPS: http://youtube.com/watch?v=f7L6h3fxCEc
I'm a journalist too:
These days, writing for THE SKINNY from Vancouver and ABSOLUTE UNDERGROUND out of Victoria.
I was a staff writer with Vancouver's NERVE MAGAZINE from summer 2004 until its sad demise in January 2008. Did interviews with Budgie, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Brant Bjork, Mike Patton, Slayer, Opeth, Carnal Forge... plus great locals like the Smokes, the Stumbler's Inn, the Pack, Bison Foster Kare... too many others to mention....
I've also contributed to the GEORGIA STRAIGHT, RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE (interviewing John Carpenter!!!), the VICE Guide to Vancouver, and ION MAGAZINE.
Myself and Byron Lamarque have a feature length science-gone-awry-Cronenbergian-body-horror-creature-feature script in the works, hopefully going to camera in Fall 2008.
I've also done some dialogue writing for the video game company Radical, including 50 CENT: BLOOD ON THE SAND, and a few others that didn't pan out so well.
I'm a total whore for trash films of yesteryear and bad-ass 60s/70s psychedelic freak-out riff-o-rama.
