What's Old, 2021
I served as head of the Department of Film at the University of Regina from July 1, 2020 to the end of June 2021 after which I hope to put a greater focus on my research. As we are within the middle of Covid-19 and frequently working from home, my teaching strategies are also constantly being updated and re-thought. In the fall, I resumed teaching film production classes face to face, with numerous covid protocols in place. I also began a roll as the Chair of the Interdisciplinary Programs in our faculty.
Workshop film "Truth" was screened in Regina as part of the Saskatchewan Filmpool Member's screening on December 16.

On June 11-13, I participated in the Saskatchewan Filmpool's "48 Hour Filmmaking Frenzy" which had groups shoot 200 feet of 16mm film and develop it using eco-friendly "chemicals". I worked with Jay Sotkowy, Makasha Kay, and Tristin Greyeyes to make a 4 minute film we called "Orgy of Truth" but later retitled "Truth".

In the first month of 2021 I noticed that many of my pages (probably 300-350) had Flash elements in them that made them not run correctly so I took time to correct them, removing most of the short video clips on pages, especially the earlier films. I will be testing pages for residual Flash components throughout this year.
