Proud to have received $20,000 in feature film development funding from the Futures Forward Program at Ontario Creates for my debut feature film, Mind Ripples.
Directed by me and co-written with Jadiel Dowlin Lewis, Mind Ripples is “La La Land meets Sound of Metal” set within Toronto’s scrappy independent arts scene.
The story follows three neurodivergent artists navigating acting, music, and painting as their lives intersect in ways that create a ripple effect across the city.
Because this story explores neurodivergence from my deeply personal perspective, it was incredibly important to collaborate with the Neurodivergent Change Foundation to help ground the film in authenticity and lived experience.
Thankful to LetterFIFTY Productions for shepherding development forward.
Excited to keep building something meaningful.
With heavy hearts, we share that Burd has passed away at the age of 110.
He lived a remarkable life defined by love, war, grief, and a commitment to showing up for others.
Getting to know the nation's oldest person so intimately has been transformative for us, and has taught this young filmmaker so much about how to make the most of your life. As he once told me, "You gotta keep your wits about you somehow".
With his family's blessing, we share the first 50 seconds of our film about his life, BURD.
Grateful to have known him.
Happy to share that Judas Goat has been selected for the Toronto Black Film Festival 2026 ✨

It’s a wrap on the principal photography for #burdfilm.
Two weeks ago, we completed our final and most ambitious shooting block of cinematic reenactments, giving life to moments and memories that Burd, in vivid detail, shared during interviews with our director.
We leave you with a sneak peek of stills and behind-the-scenes moments as we switch gears into post-production. THANK YOU to every cast and crew member, equipment partner, background actor, volunteer, friend, neighbour, and family member.
The generous donations to our #indiegogo campaign helped make the reenactments shoot a reality, and while we have surpassed over 60% of our funding goal, there is still time to help us close the gap and support us through the next stage that is post-production.
CAMPAIGN IS ACTIVE FOR 9 MORE DAYS - LINK IN BIO 🔗
