This year I also had a great experience working on the trailer for a new Blue Ant Media production “A Secret To Die For”.

Prior to working in the Corus Creative Agency between the end of 2014 to the end of 2023 as a promo producer and cameraman, I had a lot of new creative experiences working for various broadcast companies including Smokebomb Entertainment, GameTV, Zoomer Media, CBC, Deluxe Post-Production, DHX Media, MIJO and many others.  From directing, shooting and editing the web series "The Real Backpackers", to producing news slanted Olympic creative for CBC News, there were lots of projects to to explore different creative opportunites.

 The Real Backpackers was a lot of fun to work on. Season 1 was a whirlwind trip through Europe and Season 2 was the same thing across Canada. Here is a an early promo for the first season:

Paris, Cinque Terre, Berlin, Rome, Prague! If you’ve never travelled across Europe before, you’re in for a crash-course. New York City model/actor Annie Unnold will take you to the best hangouts and eccentric places in the old continent. Annie’s only mission? Show us what The Real Backpackers experience is all about!
