My dad and my little documentary, pilgrIMAGE, is premiering in Montreal at my favourite film festival, the Festival du Nouveau Cinema.

We shot it when I was just a wee young thing of 19, so it’s pretty embarrassing but if you’re curious, come check it out! I’d love some company.

Your options:

And please pass this invite along to any and all documentary fans you know!

Also, check out some of my thoughts on the FNC and a review of pilgrIMAGE by John Griffin in The Gazette.

It’s official. After 5 seasons of sitting beside the radio with your finger on the record button, WireTap has finally left the stone ages. Subscribe to our brand new podcast and listen at your convenience!

But whether you’re tuning in old school or new school, be sure to check out the premiere of Season 6, this Saturday at 1:30pm on CBC Radio One.

WireTap is finally streaming its episodes online! We will be uploading the back log of shows over the course of the next month, so soon you’ll be able to listen to all your favourites directly from our site. Check out the archive to get started… or check out some of my personal favourites below:

Never Say I Love You

This week on WireTap, tune in for advice from Starlee Kine on how to get over a bad break up. Plus, Jonathan reads his story "You call that Love", Howard confesses his true feelings for Jonathan, and a selection of short notes to people we have loved from dearoldlove.com.

Where Do Babies Come From and Where Do Babies Go?

Ever wondered if you were delivered by a stork as a baby, or dug up from a cabbage patch? On WireTap this week, a lesson in human reproduction as award-winning author Heather O’Neill reads her short story "Where Babies Come From". Plus, Howard takes house sitting to a whole new level.

WireTap has a new video up promoting Jonathan Goldstein’s new book ‘Ladies and Gentlemen: The Bible’.

Check it out!

Can you guess which ones are mine?

Three years ago, we were 6 months in.

Over three years in the making, the feature road-trip doc I have been producing with my dad, pilgrIMAGE, is finally finished! It’s premiering at IDFA this week in Amsterdam, so if you happen to be in the neighbourhood, check it out. I unfortunately won’t be able to make it, as I’m trying to be ecologically responsible and avoid air travel, but Peter Wintonick will be there to answer any questions and/or have a beer with you.

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Just watch it.
