May 14, 2017: Back in Van!
I am pleased to report we are back home following a thoroughly uneventful flight from Toronto. A 4:50 a.m. wake-up, much fussing and fretting over the dogs, a seemingly endless walk from one end of Pearson airport (check-in) to the other (our boarding gate), five straight hours of Preacher, and a slew of Vancouver errands,…

May 3, 2017: Dark Matter Update!
I work in a very strange, unpredictable business. Three years ago, I was 100% certain that Dark Matter was dead and I was poised to go into production on another show I had developed. Within the span of 24 hours, that other show was dead and Dark Matter was suddenly a go. You just...never know. The fact is, despite…
April 25, 2017: The Farewell Tour has begun!
This is the time of year when I put on the pounds. Between show wrap and my return to Vancouver, it's about four weeks packed with goodbye lunches and dinners. Farewell to friends. Farewell to co-workers. Farewell to the crispy sirloin, green pepper and onions taco at Campechano. I'll miss you all! Today, was a…

April 19, 2017: That’s a wrap on Dark Matter season 3 – Day 93 of 93!
Well, that's it! That's a wrap on Dark Matter season 3. Finally, a well-earned rest for our tireless cast and crew. But there'll be no respite for yours truly. I have still two more edits, a handful of mixes, a season's worth of music notes to get through and, starting immediately, a brand new season to plan, arc…

April 17, 2017: Dark Matter Season 3 – Day 91 of 93!
I received a few comments after yesterday's blog entry in which I considered early retirement to Tokyo once Dark Matter ends. Ideally, in such a scenario, that would be two years from now after the show's fifth and final season (although certain cast members have already started lobbying for an SG-1-like 10 year run). There is,…
