I’m incredibly excited and honoured to announce that Never Use Alone has been nominated for a DGC (Directors Guild of Canada) Award for Best Short Film! I couldn’t be prouder of what we created and I’m grateful to every person who helped bring Never Use Alone to life. This one is for all of us. ❤️

I actually like the smell of moth balls, but it's so hard to hold them still without hurting their little wings.

I had the honour and privilege of working with Tim many years ago, and he was truly wonderful. They say to never meet your heroes, but Tim was the exception. A gentleman and a consummate professional. Warm, kind, and incredibly funny. He was everything you would hoped he would be. A very sad day.

We have shifted the requirement from “write an undeniable script” to “write an undeniable script and then pay a well known consultant to read it so they’ll pass it up the chain.” That’s enshitification, friends.

Interesting observation about the difference between Bluesky and Threads. The post below got 3 comments from friends here on BS. I posted the same post over on Threads and got over 8 THOUSAND comments. Not likes, comments. (BTW, the comments make for very interesting reading…)

Or maybe fine the fashion industry (93 million tons of waste), or billionaires with yachts/private jets, or grocery stores (131 million tons) before fining people recycling Ziplocs because municipalities are incapable of processing them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Johnny Depp is portraying Scrooge at age 63. Michael Caine portrayed him at age 59. So, Johnny Depp’s Scrooge is older than Michael Caine’s Scrooge. I’m not sure what to do with this information.

Serious question. How long do you think it will take for things (including International relations) to return to ‘normal’ after he leaves office? No hyperbole, what is your genuine estimate. I’m especially curious to hear what American’s think.

What’s a phrase that you heard as a child that people probably wouldn't understand today. I’ll go first - “If I have a flutter and stick a pony on the gee-gees I could score a monkey.”

Just watched Project Hail Mary. For all the impossible sci-fi science in the film, the biggest suspension of disbelief is Ryan Gosling sitting alone at a bar while everyone else is hooking up around him.

A recent viewer sent me the message in the photo. I’m deeply grateful for moments like this, they’re what give the work real meaning. And yes, Chelah Horsdal is extraordinary in it. I was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with such a talented group of actors and crew. www.NeverUseAloneFilm.com
