I'm Here

a short film by Spike Jonze

'I'm Here' is a Sci-Fi love story written and directed by Spike Jonze. The 30 minute short film made its debut at the 2010 Sundance film festival. I'm Here was funded by (interestingly enough) Absolut Vodka. They created a tag line 'A Love Story In An Absolut World'  for the film poster. (pretty smart promotion if you ask me!) This romance is about two robots living in LA, Sheldon and Francesca.     [Keep Reading]

Many things are unconsciously flying through my brain before I take a snap. As a photographer I am constantly analyzing the present moment while I am trying to capture it. Movie moments replaying in my head, I see subject one look at subject two just as subject two happens to notice subject one staring at them,... [Keep Reading]

Matcha Coconut Latte

my winter drink!

  Winter will get you. But don't you worry I have a great drink that will keep your taste buds busy enough that you will forget how cold it really is out there. Everyone has those days where the Saskatchewan winter will leave you cooped up at home for a few! I personally love those days. A coffee lover is me to the bean, sometimes tea does the trick, but often I am feeling tempted to break the binge hibernation mode only to go out and seek a warm tasty bevy that I can't seem...

Apple Sage Hemp Heart PIZZA

tasty DIY

It all started today at Dad's Organic, I walked past the Gluten free pizza crusts!! I had never made pizza before today, but man o man this is most definitely something I will experiment with more often. I managed to round up a few groceries quickly, bolted home, and jumped right into the kitchen. I wanted to get this pizza in the oven and baked before I needed to leave for work. I realized something about myself, I perform well under a speedy time line. I had the pizza in the oven in under... [Keep Reading]

Apparently I enjoy sharing with The Rooster readers all of the amazing people in my life. This next fellow I have known since catching butterflys was the hiphappenin' circa '95. Grayson is that guy that always leaves you wondering 'whats up his sleeve next!?!?'  Growing up at Blackstrap with Grayson gave me the opportunity to see him shine in many aspects of his life. He is an extremely talented athlete (Quarter back of the football team, AA hockey player, provincial... [Keep Reading]
