There wasn’t a time when I wasn’t thinking about movies. My earliest memories are at the theatre, I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey on a snapper case DVD when I was 13, all of my friends have been made before, during and after movie screenings here in Toronto. So, it makes sense that I feel compelled to make them myself. While I’ve been making films since the age of 12, a lot of those early works don’t make the cut for a professional portfolio; however, the work below does. (That being said, if you’re good at Google, you can find the freestyle rap song and video about farm animals I made in Grade 12)
Not only has my work been screened across Canada, but I was featured in The Toronto Star about the burgeoning “New Toronto Bizarre” film movement (which you can read HERE). The media gatekeepers have confirmed for you that I am the real deal.
Grumpy Land Who’s Who
Toronto Apartment (2025)
In the summer of 2024, I wrote, produced, directed, starred and edited a feature-length film after being given an investment of $10,000. The movie is about a man living in Toronto who, because he was unexpectedly broken up with, can no longer afford his apartment. So, in a moment of ingenuity, he comes up with a scheme to sublease his apartment for “an hour or two at a time” and, well, hijinx ensue.
Think of the movie as The Apartment meets Wet, Hot American Summer with a dash of Dogme 95.
The film is currently in the festival cycle with an official release date coming soon.
While you wait, check out the teaser trailer I edited in the style of a Cineplex pre-show that is playing across Canada as part of THE PEE PEE POO POO MAN road show.
"IDKS" by Ed Schrader's Music Beat (2024)
I’m Sorry Cody (2024)
In this film I wrote, directed, edited and acted in, a documentary filmmaker sets out to make a film about his accordion-playing childhood friend. However, when a new career opportunity presents itself, the friendship is put to the test.
This 10-minute short has been selected by Toronto’s Bleeding Edge film screening series, the Insomniac Film Festival and is still making its way through the festival circuit.
Poet Laureate (2023)
“Small Towns” by Nonarchy (2023)
This is a music video I directed, partly shot and edited for Vancouver band Nonarchy.
It stars Mitch Graw as a confused man in a monkey mask navigating the big city of Toronto, an image inspired by this song.
“IDKS” by Ed Schrader’s Music Beat (2024)
In this music video for Baltimore’s own Ed Schader’s Music Beat, I took inspiration from the music video for Falco’s “Der Kommisar” but updated it to a more infernal end.
Mitch Graw devilishly embodies El Diablo, dancing and singing to the post-punk single in a low-fi, kaleidoscopic, glitched-out hellscape. It was an honour to produce, direct and edit this video as I’ve been a fan of this band for years.

Poet Laureate (2023)
Poet Laureate is a docu-fiction I constructed that is about my journey in becoming the official poet of my hometown of 8,000, Castlegar B.C. Over the course of nearly a year, I documented every part, then edited it into something that ‘has fun’ with reality.
This film has been shown in Toronto as part of the Bleeding Edge screening series as well as a special screening in Castlegar. The second of which blew up in the local and provincial news, with coverage by MyKootenayNow, CBC Radio and Global News BC.

Grumpy Land Who’s Who (2025)
In this online video campaign for Gellezig Studios, I created a parody of the Canadianana classic Hinterland Who’s Who.
The campaign was a massive success, with Gezellig Studios winning an award thanks to the magic of this social media campaign. Conceived with an eye towards visual silliness and nostalgia, these videos have garnered thousands of views.
