REEL

This is a trailer for a documentary I finished in 2007. I think it’s going to its 21st festival this summer.

BRIGHTER HELL by The Watchmen. We shot this music video in the middle of a Winnipeg winter. The Watchmen gave us this song to use for the movie KANADIANA in exchange for this music video. We ended up winning a Blizzard Award and Much Music had this video in medium rotation for quite a while.
