Project news

All The Wrong reasons

we are currently working on this great feature from director,

gia Milani and producer, tony whalen. an emotional film with an honest, and frankly, refreshing look at mental health and how it impacts everyone. This is a must see come festival time.

The san family

A sweet play written by longtime friend and client, juanita peters.

co produced by marty williams, this play tells the story of race relations in the 1940’s and one family’s journey to come together when separated by sanitarium walls.

the play runs Feb 27 - Mar 1 at alderney landing.

Gerry and company are back at it!

A second season of Mr d is underway and we cannot stop laughing. Gerry has assembled a great cast and where the show will go is anyone’s guess. tune in mondays at 8pm on cbc to catch the mayhem!

Counterfeit Culture

A truly eye opening doc from the dynamic duo of geoff d’eon and edward peill. It is scary what can be copied and sold on the grey market. a knockoff rolex is one thing, but counterfeit medical supplies, plane parts and more bring this problem into a whole new focus.
