I am also the author of the book “Making the Magic Happen: The Art and Craft of Film Directing” published by Michael Wiese Productions.
I have been living in Shanghai since 2015 and teaching at the Shanghai Vancouver Film School. On June 21, 2023, I officially “retired” as the Directing Instructor at SHVFS.
My focus now will be on developing my Directing Coach business, creating online directing masterclasses and promoting my live Directing Actor Workshops in Canada and Internationally.
I will also be researching and writing my second book called “Directing Actors – Motivation Determines Behavior. What Characters DO – To Get What they WANT – To Fulfill Their NEEDS!.
Over my career, I have Directed over 30 episodes of Television Drama such as “John Woo’s Once a Thief”, “Wiseguy”, “21 Jumpstreet”, “Neon Rider”, “The Black Stallion”, “Scene of the Crime”, “Big Wolf on Campus” and “Largo Winch.”
As a First Assistant Director, I have worked on 12 Feature Films (including “Dawn of the Dead”, “The Butterfly Effect”, “Happy Gilmore”, “The Fly II”); 17 Television Movies; 4 Television Series Pilots; 7 Television Series and over 20 Commercials.
I have also written, directed or produced over 50 hours of documentary and educational programs and my documentaries and dramas have won, or been nominated for, 14 International film awards.
I have worked for directors such as John Woo, Zack Snyder, Phillip Noyce, Ed Zwick, John Badham, Mark Rydell, Roger Vadim, Dennis Dugan, Anne Wheeler & Bobby Roth.
I have also worked with actors such as Peter O’Toole, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, John Travolta, Kathy Bates, Michelle Pfiefer, Marcia Gaye Harden, Madeleine Stowe, Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher, Goldie Hawn, Judy Davis, Halle Berry and Adam Sandler.
I have also developed several filmmaking workshops that I have presented over the past 20 years (Canada, Malaysia, China, Haiti, Singapore, Dubai.)
In 1999, I created my website, ActionCutPrint and I also publish the free monthly ezine, “The Director’s Chair” which is read by over 2300 filmmakers around the world.
