Wrapped a long winter in Winnipeg last night, and tonight is the first big fire of the warm season. Winter on the prairies is wicked long, but the result is a shared suffering that builds community. I've been soaking up said community for the last week, reveling in the dynamic creative relationships I both built on and discovered over these past few months living in my home town. We released Overland on DVD in early December, and I got to work over the holidays on the script and design of the webseries Off the Rails. I'm working on a September timeline for OTR, and managed to finish the script as well as find, audition, and record 2 of the 6 or so voice actors needed. In March I became busy with Freed the Puppet, working with Alex through the month on our stage show Fragmented/Fused. Alex has fully recovered from her knee surgery, and we are ready for performances of F/F, the first of which is to be announced. Then, and because it seemed so long since we'd worked together, I teamed up with Ingrid Gatin to shoot a music video for her song Waking Up the Neighbours, from her new album set for release in early May. I'll let the video speak for itself next month, but I'll say that when the editing is complete I'll really know my reds!
The next morning....
I'm off to Vancouver! Cherry blossoms and warm pacific breezes, not to mention my two beautiful baby nieces. I'll be hanging in Vancity editing and writing for the month, but profuse thanks to all the wonderful Winnipeggers that made this winter my best in peg city yet!
Thanks Winnipeg!
