New Maze: New Love

There will be some exciting things happening with my film and theatre work in the fall, and I'll keep everyone updated on this site. For now enjoy the slow August nights and keep looking for love wherever you can find it.

New Maze: Summer

Feel the heat.

My Prom Photos

Prom season is upon us, and I thought I'd take the opportunity to embarrass myself by posting a couple of my prom photos.

As atypical as my high school was (it was an arts school in the suburbs, with something like 80% female students) my prom night felt very traditional. I bought a corsage for my date, we took a limo to a ballroom, the graduating class danced till midnight. Then we all traveled to the University of Toronto, where the prom committee had rented a frat house for the night, and all us kids got drunk on coolers. Classic, classic.

My date was named Adrienne, we were friends. She does make quite a fetching prom date though, wouldn't you say?

'She Done Him Wrong'...Mae West is the Best

Sure, that Mae West name gets thrown around here and there in pop culture, but if you aren't a gay man in his 50's or a film studies major, chances are you've never seen one of her films. You are missing out.

She wrote, she starred and she sang in her films. Her sexy one liners are a thing of legend. This is her first and most famous film, 1933's 'She Done Him Wrong'. Not only was it a massive success with depression addled American audiences, it was also nominated for best picture that year and celebrated as a cinematic achievement of pure entertainment. If that isn't enough it's the film that launched Cary Grant's career.

At 66 minutes, it's a lot shorter than the feature films we're used to watching now, but it sure packs a punch. Try not to fall in love with her.

Back in Toro

I'm back in Toronto from my time in London, and I'm hitting the ground running. I'm on the phone, getting things done, taking no prisoners ;-)

It's good to be back.

Wonders of Berlin

I spent last week in Berlin with my sister; we took way too many pictures. What a glorious city, it's very liberating there. So many artists, so much green space and an incredibly non-judgmental atmosphere.

The Jewish Memorial, an unforgettable monument.

There is monumental, vibrant graffiti all across the city. This is a famous piece that was created in two days by one man and a lot of paint.

A rare photograph of me where I'm not posing at all!

The airlift memorial. This is a city with constant reminders of the cold war, and divisions of the past.
