Okay, back to it. Had a conversation with my agent today regarding the horror script.  A few notes to address before proceeding.  It's high concept, chock full of solid scares (and humor of course), has a couple of good twists, and would be relatively inexpensive to produce. He thinks it's a slam dunk - but…

We have begun our quest to find Suji a new friend.  Or, if not a friend, then another pug she can snuggle up with when Akemi and I go out shopping.  Or, if not a another pug she can snuggle up with when Akemi and I go out shopping, then another pug to boss around.…

"In this crowded marketplace, if you can start with some kind of brand awareness and IP that has a vocal support and, in this case, a crazy, passionate love for it, you're ahead of the game." [source] The above quote is from FOX Entertainment President Michael Thorn in response to queries about a possible Firefly revival.…

Back in April of last year, I was invited to attend an event hosted by the Director's Guild of Canada.  The aim of the evening was to connect showrunners and directors in a speed-dating-like setting.  Prior to the date, I was forwarded a list of 200+ directors and instructed to choose six.  Then, on the…

I've had a fairly successful career to date.  Over 350 hours of produced television.  Over a hundred written.  Over a hundred as a showrunner.  By now, those who have tuned in to my work are aware of my style, the type of work I produce: character-driven stories with an underlying sense of humor that speak…

As promised, we've planned a Stargate twitter event for European fans who were unable to make December's tweetstorm (on account of it kicking off at approximately 2:00 a.m. their time). We're eyeing a 1:00 p.m. EST kick-off which means European Stargate fans will be tweeting approximately six hours later, about 7:00 p.m. their time. This…

It's been four days since Lulu's sudden passing and it still hasn't really sunk in.  For any of us.  Today, Akemi was in the kitchen cooking and, from the corner of her eye, caught what she thought was Lulu sitting, as she often did, impatiently waiting for a treat.  The situation with Lulu is, of…

So I was going through my blog archives in search of something else and I came across the following video from back in the day.  Actors Jamil Walker-Smith, Brian J. Smith, and David Blue watching the finished cut of SGU's Time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suf7X50oDlM&feature=youtu.be Good times! I've decided to start a new feature on twitter titled…

Thanks to everyone who left a message regarding Lulu, on twitter, instagram, facebook, and here on this blog.  Over a thousand well-wishes received.  Thanks so much.  It's nice to see my gal was so well-loved. On the other hand, at times like these, it's hard not to second-guess, decisions made and not made.  So it…

I hadn't really planned on getting a french bulldog, but a series of fortunate events saw us welcome this little, big-eared frenchie into our home. Lulu settled in quite nicely with the rest of the pack, but it was clear from the get-go that she was different.  Smarter, stronger, and spryer than our three pugs,…

Five hours and forty minutes, ninety-seven kpop songs, and a smoked meat sandwich later we are back in Toronto.  And I am exhausted.  I may have to redeem one of the massage tickets Akemi gifted me for Christmas. Our last full day in Montreal saw us all attend the special Van Gogh exhibition in Old…
