What a week. After writing for so long, it feels so good to step back into the director’s chair.

And what a blessing to work with such lovely and talented people! We did five days of camera testing and script workshopping for Below the Silent Sky, and it was a blast. It’s starting to feel like this is going to be a truly special project.

Thank you for all the heart and hard work this past week @baroncamera, @kaleighrichards, @tristenmaclean, @emilyjaynehoward, @izzypedersen, @javelin.laurence, @mrclip, @norahbrownphotography, and @davidjfeehan. My heart is full and I’m so excited for the next steps with this story.

Five years ago I set out to travel to Canada and work as an Actor in Banff.

I post this with a proud big grin. I did it.

Thank you to all who have helped me on this adventure. To Anna, Craig and the Trouts. To the Cast, Crew and Designers. The staff of the Banff Centre and ATP. To friends who came and those who couldn't. To my family.

Oh Canada. Thank you x
Let’s see what happens next in this beautiful country.

I truly love these people. So many belly laughs (and buffet meals together in Banff, the good ol’ days). So much love went into getting this show on its feet, and boy, am I thankful to have been part of it. Huzzah! To the final weekend of shows! And huzzah to this very special moment from a spooky night hike back in Banff led by our Doug. SMILING 🥹

Rest in power P.E.A.C.E.
Architect. Technician. One of the wildest rhyme scientists to ever breathe on a beat. Freestyle Fellowship shaped entire styles and still sits above trend and timeline. What came from Good Life and Project Blowed rewired how many of us hear rhythm, breath, and flow itself.

Albino ZEBRAH carries that influence with pride. We did not copy. We studied the language and built our own voice because that was always the lesson. Carve your path. Invent your pocket. Bend time with cadence and feeling.

P.E.A.C.E. showed that technique can still have soul. That structure can still sound like chaos to those who never caught it. He once said, “Innovation lives where fear does not.” That line stays with me because it explains why his style will never age.

Thank you for the blueprint. Thank you for the courage to sound different. Travel well.
