My Story

I am a Toronto based filmmaker- graduate of Humber's Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning's Film and Television Production program and OCAD University's Integrated Media program. Focusing on writing, directing, and animation, I am currently in pre-production on my 3rd stop motion film (1st independently produced) titled "Bramula". The film is inspired by Tim Burton's stop motion "Vincent" as well as Adam Elliott's "Uncle, Brother, Cousin" series. 

Here is a peak at some of the narration:

"On 1064 Sorley Lane, Lives Bram who seems rather mundane. 

But do not let yourself be fooled by his furry attire, 

For Bram isnt a cat at all because he used to be a vampire." 


The Impact

This is definitely a film for animal lovers! My half Siamese black cat was the inspiration for Bram's quirky personality. The puppets, sets, furniture, furnishings, props and even Mrs. Montgomery's dentures were designed and constructed by hand for the film. The goal for the film is to screen at numerous festivals internationally. 


What Current Donations Have Assisted With & What New Donations Will Go Towards

All money raised will go towards film expenses. 


Prior to production everything from prop materials including paint, wallpaper, fabric, brushes, clay; to puppet materials including cement, burlap, wire, brass stock, latex; to equipment costs including the camera and lenses; has been covered by the generous donations of all the funders.  


UPDATE:

The project has entered post production and will only improve with additional donations! Post production costs includ the sound mix, final transfer to HDcam, compositing, and marketing materials.
