I’m a writer and filmmaker with a Master’s degree in film production. But they say it’s the experience that counts; I’ve worked for nearly twenty years with the Inuit of the Arctic on many, many television programs.

I’ve also worked with Chad McQueen (son of movie icon Steve McQueen) on an un-produced project for Netflix, and wrote a feature film about a Jewish-Arab love story, “Adam’s Wall”, released globally. I’ve presented a short film at Cannes (an autobiographical piece, “The Fantastic Bus”), won a Canadian Screen Award (the equivalent of the Canadian Oscars; is that worth mentioning?) and had a Top-10 documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival, “Sol”, about an Inuit circus performer who died in RCMP custody.

I like to travel, having been all across China —including Xinjiang, where Uyghurs were put into detention camps, and I had to go through police checkpoints sometimes twice a day— to Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, The Dominican Republic, pretty much everywhere in Europe, and the Arctic. Lastly, I’m a life-long fan of Sci-Fi and since I can’t (yet) go into space… I like to daydream about it.
