01-01-09 - The newest of years

It's about time 2009.  Special thanks to CNN who covered the anticlimactic mess in Times Square.  Wow, that ball dropping thing is like a walking through an art gallery with a sedated Dopey Smurf.  Yawn...

I'd like to share some of my resolutions for the new year.  I'm going to reduce my coffee consumption (switching to Red Bull & vodka), go to the gym more (Lululemon bums = Kryptonite), make more time to read books (that don't have pop-up or scratch 'n sniff components) and attempt to bring you more ridiculous,  homoerotic, and crafty (offensive) content.

Best of wishes to all who bother to read this.   I'll rub some shinny stones together and bring you good luck. 
 
25-12-08 - Christmas Anyone?

The holiday season proved to be a busy time for me.  Village Idiot released both a picture (http://www.villageidiot.ca/s.html) and a seasonal video (http://www.villageidiot.ca/sv.html) capturing the friendship between Jesus and Santa.  Additionally, ChurchofJerks.com presented Christmas from the Devil's perspective.  "How the Devil Spent Christmas" exposes the troubles making Christmas plans when your best friend is the Devil.

01-12-08 - Project : LOVE a success!

The first of many collaborative Project Series productions wrapped up on Saturday night to a SOLD OUT crowd and standing ovation.  The incredible feedback has prompted another run of Project: LOVE over Valentine's weekend in February 2009 with new material. 

16-11-08 - LIVE SHOWS COMING

I have joined forces with a talented group of actors under the direction of Monica Mustelier to take part in the PROJECT SERIES: LOVE edition.   It will have an initial 3-night run Nov 27, 28, 29th at the Tipper Performance Space in Vancouver.   I'm excited to be bringing a character to life - live.


13-11-08 What the hell is going on here?

What happens when Seth becomes best friends with the Devil?   BEELZEBUDDY Episode #2 "The Sin of Seth" uploaded today.  

01-11-08 - Brian's had a baby?

In the Nov/Dec issue of Mompreneur Magazine is the first national publication of my creative juice converted.  Specific for this publication (whose readers are all entrepreneur mothers), "All-Star Baby" is an infant who has the dexterity and intelligence of a tech-savy teenager.  The young boy helps Mummsy with various tasks so she can keep the work/life balance most Mompreneurs are striving for.  All-Star Baby assistance frees up more time for him while the rest of the family sees mom as the all-star.  

25.10.08 - A creepy departure.

Mark and I had a unique opportunity to gain access to the  underground section of the new Skytrain tunnel under downtown Vancouver. This is one of the infrastructure projects required as the host City of the 2010 Winter Olympics.  It seemed logical that we would try our hand at making a horror with such a dreary location at our disposal.  CLICK HERE TO WATCH.

25.08.08 - "Not So Bad" upgrade

Due to a late disqualification, our film "Not So Bad" was boosted to the Top 5 for the Diesel 24-hr Film Racing 2008 competition.  This short also won Best Writing beating out the other Top 10 entries and 30 entries in all.  To watch  - CLICK HERE TO VIEW

21.08.08 - Gigidy, gigidy!

Brian booked his first gig as Parent#1 on the TV show "Psych".  The show is normally aired on the USA Network in the States but owned by NBC.  The  episode (Season 3, episode 10) should be aired in December.  Don't blink or you might miss my line, "Hey, those are the same two I saw cut in line!"  Additionally, this episode was directed by John Landis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000484/) who has an impressive resume that includes,"Blues Brothers", "Animal House", Michael Jackson's "Thriller", "Three Amigos" and "Beverly Hills Cop III". 

28.07.08- POURING IN!

The two groups that I have been working closely with (VILLAGEiDiOT & TidanHeights Productions) have both crested the 200th member mark on their respective Facebook groups.  Way to go me (and everyone else involved I suppose).

23.07.08- VICTORY!

The 24-hr Diesel Film Racing contest award ceremony was last night and our entry 'Not So Bad' won 'BEST WRITING' after being selected as one of the TOP 10 entries (25 total).  Congrats to myself and my writing partner Patrick Gilmore who scripted the creation.

27.06.08- THE FULL MONTY!

The Vancouver Province (newspaper), recently ran a contest to re-create a Monty Python sketch for a grand-prize of 2 tickets to opening night of 'Spamalot' on July 3, in Vancouver.  Mark & I (VILLAGEiDiOT) performed Monty Python’s, 'Wink, wink, nudge...' and took home the prize.

24.05.08- READY TO LAUNCH!

VILLAGEiDiOT officially launches its website (www.VILLAGEiDiOT.ca) and kicks it off with a gathering at downtown pub.  Pictures posted on the Facebook group.

16.05.08- YES PLEASE!

Another of my collaborations (Green Team) successfully completed a submission for the National Screening Institute - Totally Television contest.  Our comedy/drama pitch is entitled “Shades of Green”.  The story takes place in the backdrop of a start-up environmental consultancy and the life & career challenges of our main character Ethan.

Tagline:   Ethan would love to save the world but babysitting a boss who thinks he is a super-hero makes it tricky.
