ADISQ, Best Music Video of the Year 2012 - Camouflar

Corinne Merrel, Louisa Schabas and I created a maquette world for Galaxie's music video, Camouflar.  Inspired by B-movies of the 1970's we built a black & white city with a hill-side oasis.

The video was recently awarded best video of the year, 2012 (videoclip de l'annee, 2012) by ADISQ, it is also a vimeo staff pick.

Directed by Matthew Cyr
Produced by C4 Productions & Parce Que Films.

I'm very excited about the upcoming premiere of The Fruit Hunters this coming Saturday, November 10th at the RIDM festival in Montreal!
Directed by Yung Chang and produced by EyeSteelFilm this film brings together some phenomenal talent that will change your perception of fruit.
I acted as artistic director of the models with Corinne Merrell, Louisa Schabas and Deborah Sullivan.

It will be out in theatres across Canada on Nov 23rd.

Richard III

I recently designed the set, costumes and props for a production of 
Richard III in the Segal Studio with  Metachroma, a new theatre company in Montreal.  This company is composed of a lovely group of theatre artists whose mandate is to open the stage to actors of visible minority.  
It was a pleasure to work with Joel Miller and this team over the past few months.
