I have an Honors Degree in Drama from the University of Alberta, but when it was done I knew a life in modern theatre was not for me. While figuring out what the hell I might do instead of theatre, I spent a couple of days on a horror film doing stunt work. I’d never been behind the camera before, and I loved everything about it. I joined the local film co-op – The Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta – because you could trade skills for experience. These indie filmmakers were making their own stuff their own way, all the time. Instant education.
