"Day of John" Movie Poster

Hey guys, remember me? I haven't posted a blog in over a week but I hope you all understand how crazy ass busy I am right now. Although my show is still my biggest priority, being involved with Chris Nash's film that will be screened in a couple weeks at the Toronto International Film Festival is creating some exciting new opportunities for me in the movie making business.

I have to admit, the prospect of making movies is more intriguing and alluring than I ever could have imagined. Once in awhile you end up putting together a pretty good episode of television and you are proud to know people will be watching it a couple days after you deliver it to the station. You get seven more days before people watch your next episode and if it isn't equally as good or as funny then your back to square one. What you did a week ago doesn't matter much if the episode people just finished watching wasn't necessarily your best effort. A movie on the other hand has a lifespan of months or even years sometimes. I can't imagine how cool it would be to work on something for more than a couple weeks and not have to constantly be under the gun to deliver the episode or movie you are working on regardless of how good it is!

I think the small screen will always be my passion, I love Tv, I really do, Especially late night television. I like going to the movies as most of you know, but I have no idea if I would like making them because I have never actually done that before. It looks like I might get to find that out pretty soon but until then, I'm just going enjoy being in one. Having my first time being shot on film, screened at such a big film festival is pretty cool. Chris just sent me the official movie poster. You might not be able to read all the names ect. that are on the poster but check it out anyways......

I'm pretty sure the first screening is on September 11th at 9:00pm but I'm not positive about that so I'll have to find out for sure and let you guys know.

I do know that the first two public screenings will be at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) which is an amazingly cool place to see a movie screened according to Branden who has been there before.

I wish I had more time right now to tell you guys about my weekend and some of the other stuff I have been doing lately but I've got to get back to making a Tv show to air this weekend and I was in meeting with people all day today so I am a little behind on getting the show made for this week!

I actually took a couple days off over the weekend to kick back a little and go to my buddies gold tournament. I'm not a good enough golfer to go in the Canadian or US open but my team was good enough to win "Your fly is" Open on Saturday which is what Arch calls his annual tournament. Get it, your fly is, open!

Anyways,I really do have to get back to work here or I'm going to be screwed.I just thought I had better get a blog posted here again before people start sending me angry emails or making threatening post on the message board as opposed to some of the polite reminders I have been getting about not being here in a while.It's nice to know people give a crap!!!!! I look forward to seeing some of you in a few weeks at the screening of the movie.

Later Guys,
