January felt too early. Spring feels like the right time.
ELEVATE. My word for 2026.
The year started out with a bang by helping @georgiastreetmedia produce two commercials for BC Hydro’s Spring campaign. Looking forward to more projects together.
Loads of applications to submit for funding, a 2nd feature in the works, shooting a short film late summer/early fall, helping develop/produce a documentary, developing series, finding collaborators, and time spent being grateful for no longer being in pain after experiencing a debilitating hernia last year.
Also, our boys turn 10 next month and @kjgimages just started a new job! ⚡️ So grateful for my family’s love & support.
@halfbetty is growing. Live events have already started with the next one happening April 15th. Follow us and join our Storied Studio in and around Vancouver!
I can feel the momentum.
Elevate health & wellness
Elevate travel
Elevate my connections
Elevate taking action
Elevate creation
What’s your word this year? I’d love to know.
🎞️The hallowed halls of the NFB Western Documentary Unit ✨
🦋Inspired by the films and filmmakers that have come through this studio as we edit our rom com doc NAKABINGWIT: First Comes Love that will soon have a spot amongst this stellar alumni!

⚡️ In 2010, before the creator economy had a name, Tongal was launched to democratize the creative industry and offer opportunities to the world’s most talented people regardless of their background, contacts, or geography.
This week we passed another proud milestone: $100m has been earned on Tongal by our 160k-strong global creative community.
Ten creators have earned more than $1 million on the platform, and we celebrate them in this carousel, where they share highlights from their transformative experience on Tongal.
We are incredibly proud of every one single one of our community, who continue to redefine what is possible when talent meets opportunity. And the adventure is just beginning. ⚡️
✨ Tyler Funk, Andy Kelemen, Brandon Carter, Pixeltown Arts, Don Broida, Chase A Cloud, CC Pixels, Jeff Bloom, Indie Machines ✨

"Anything For Fame" is now streaming in the USA on Paramount+
"If you choose to be selective of who you're following, if you choose to fact check your sources, if you choose to really put the work in, you are in control...but if you really just show up and put the bare minimum in as a viewer, I think that's where you're gonna end up where it's going to have a lot of control over what you see." - Tyler Funk, director of "Anything for Fame"

Been quite a year, especially for my first year officially in business of my own, and starting “All T’Hat Music!”🎶 . I’m feeling very grateful for every moment of the recent years. The highs and the lows. Especially the love and support from the real ones. The pros. And the ones who now feel like family. Lots of lessons learned and lots of growth.

Always keep learning and growing. Keep believing in yourself, even if people do you wrong, or you make mistakes. It shapes you, toughens you up. And really’ clarifies what is true from false. Real from phoney. Productive or non-productive. Foster the true and loyal relationships you have and keep on keep on keepin’ on. Keep working hard and hustlin’! You got this 💪🏽 #MotivationMonday

Song Credit 🎧 🎤 🎵: “Power” by local Vancouverite @sammimorelli (who is also photographed in first pic) It’s a banger 🤘🏽 Some might take it as a breakup song, but I take it as a start fresh in anything track! And should be a number 1 radio hit IMHO. Please support and go purchase and stream! Thx! ♥️
@anythingforfamefilm_ the documentary feature I shot for the @onf_nfb is now available on their website -
