Well, look who dropped by the house today to say hello to Lulu. If it isn't Dark Matter's ONE/Jace Corso, Marc Bendavid. In addition to coming up to visit with Lulu, he's also in town shooting a movie. Today was a rare day off from set, so we got together for lunch at Fable Kitchen (he got…

June 4, 2016: Looking back on Stargate! Looking ahead to Dark Matter!
Ah, there are no better motivations than anger or a deadline and, in the case of this new pilot, I can draw on both. A little over halfway done and it's coming along swimmingly. Hoping to have it done soon so that I can get some feedback, do a rewrite, and then go out with…
June 3, 2016: Dark Matter goodies! Stargate eye candy! Signed scripts!
Less than a month to go before the Dark Matter season 2 premiere - yet only a little over a week to go before the writers' room convenes to start spinning the show's third season. Optimistic much? Well, yes, and you would be too if you saw what was in store for you in the show's second…
June 2, 2016: Bubba’s unruly travels! Dark Matter first looks pics! More casting announcements!
We are back in Vancouver - and failing fast. On the surface, it seemed like a good idea at the time: wake up REALLY early and catch the first flight out so that the dogs would, presumably, sleep the entire five hours enroute. And, yeah, we did wake up at 4 a.m. And we…
June 1, 2016: And that’s a wrap on Toronto!

I'll be waking up tomorrow bright dark and early - 4 a.m.! - and head out with the…

Here it is! And it's a long one, an extended trailer chock full of tiny teasers. Let's break it down with a shot by shot analysis! An establisher of what we suspect is the Hyperion-8 Maximum Security Facility. TWO, THREE, and FOUR presumably entering the prison's Gen Pop area. But where's the rest of the…
May 26, 2016: A first look at our new ship – the Ishida Cruiser!
Door to the bridge - under construction. The bridge - under construction. Lights, monitors, texturing and details still to come. From the outside looking in. One of the command consoles. Closer... I'm thinking a rotating command chair up front and center. Shooting on the bridge of the Ishida cruiser.

May 22, 2016: A lazyish summer weekend! And a brand new space station!
Sort of. While Bubba was working on his tan and Lulu was working the dog park crowd, I was seemingly overseeing the action but actually working on two fronts: Dark Matter and my new super-secret SciFi project. In the case of the former, I've already forwarded my team my game plan for the show's third season so…
