Pyros Season 2

Not long after my contract ended with Ice Pilots NWT my boss called me to see if I was still around to do some work for Pyros Season 2. It works out great I was able to see my Gran and I still get to go to Calgary to visit my best friend in September. The first night shift went well, I think mainly because I'm a night owl. It's actually an easier system than the one I was using on Ice Pilots. I just have to learn all the GFA's name on the show. Pyros airs on the Discovery channel.

KMIA season 2

Had a great meeting today with the Kiss My Incoming Abs team to discuss season 2! We've got a new approach to our workout segment that I think every one can enjoy ;)

We will be airing some short clips to keep you motivated until November when season 2 begins again on Novus TV and our YouTube channel.

Grant writing

My friend Jess and I have spent the last 2 days writing a grant for a documentary about the Vancouver Pride Community. We still have a long way to go with budgeting and writing about artistic merit towards the project. I find that every time I start writing a grant I need a dictionary to decipher what fluffy words the application asks for. With all our research done we now have to focus on writing our narrative for this documentary, which is the hardest part. How do you write something you don't think you can predict. But the truth is you can. About 75% of what's on screen in documentaries is written ahead of time. I mean we are still in pre production but we can at least break up our doc into points and begin there.

Since we are "co-directing" this doc it's been easier to bounce ideas off each other, from the visual look to the educational and historical facts. It also helps because we have different strengths which does not conflict on our priorities we can divide the tasks at hand. I'll be doing the budget and she will be focusing on the "detailed description". Then we'll meet up, give our input and finalize the rest. This grant is due in October so we don't have much time left.
