May 17, 2018: Dark Matter Episode 401 – Act 1!
I experienced a range of emotions upon hearing of Dark Matter's surprising cancellation: disbelief, anger, sadness, and a lot of frustration at the thought of leaving this story incomplete. As most of you know, I went in with a game plan from Day 1, a thorough narrative blueprint encompassing every story and character arc over…

April 27, 2018: You’ve Been Ghosted!
I came across an article a few years ago that explored the phenomenon of "ghosting". In a nutshell, ghosting refers to the act of abruptly breaking off a relationship and ceasing all communications, effectively banishing the other party to an intangible ghost-like existence. As I read the article, I was surprised - not by the…
April 26, 2018: Actor Andrew Moodie Answers Your Questions!
One of the many highlights of working on Dark Matter was the opportunity I got to collaborate with some truly gifted individuals, both in front and behind the camera. Actor Andrew Moodie, who played the role of Teku Fonsei, is one example. He's not only talented, poised, and professional, but one of the nicest guys…
April 22, 2018: Everybody wants to work with you!
Congratulations. You've just wrapped up your very first round of Hollywood meet-and-greets, sit-downs with production and broadcast executives all over town, and if there is one indisputable fact you can take away from the glorious experience it's this: Everyone wants to work with you! It's true! They said as much in their unbridled enthusiasm for…
April 21, 2018: There’s No Business Like Show Business! Unless You’re Somehow Involved In An Asylum’s Black Market Fried Wraps Operation!
Honestly, growing up, I never aspired to be in show business. From a very early age, my ambitions were relatively simple. I wanted to tell stories or investigate crimes or explore outerspace. Author, Detective, Astronaut - those were my top three choices. I didn't even consider scriptwriting until a friend suggested I give it a…

March 29, 2018: The Speed Dating Directors Selection Process!
About a month ago, I agreed to take part in a showrunner/director speed meeting event that will essentially involve me sitting down with eight pre-selected directors for 10 minutes each over the course of an evening. "Wait a minute,"you're no doubt thinking. "You're not a freakin' showrunner!" Well, while technically true, I was a showrunner…
March 26, 2018: Developments on Development!
Balls in the air...or, perhaps more appropriately, marbles racing down the track. Project A: Delivered a first draft of the pilot to the network along with a revised character breakdown for quick reference and perusal. This one an epic character-driven SF series. I dub thee...Comet! Project B: Have been going back and forth on…
March 15, 2018: Actor Andrew Moodie Q&A! More on the DriveToRevive! I may be dating Turanga Leela!
Well, well, well. If it isn't Dark Matter's Teku Fonsei, actor Andrew Moodie, incognito. Well, actually, it IS. And he's pretty cognito. The beard is for a play he's doing. The crispy pig ear he's holding? Not part of the performance art. Anyway, I was having lunch with Andrew today and thought - I bet…

March 12, 2018: Ships of Stargate: SG-1!
Every so often, I get requests for concept work and designs related to the various ships featured on Stargate. I normally love to oblige but the truth is a lot of these files are scattered over so many folders on so many laptops and portable hard drives, that it's almost impossible to track them all…

A huge thank you to Stargate fans worldwide who came together over the past 48 hours to blow up twitter - with a little help from some familiar faces... Yep. Quite the turnout.
