Received my first Canada Council Grant, and will be making a short film, "Wok Hei," in the Spring of 2022. More details in the coming months, but I'll be assembling cast and crew, and reaching out to many of you for lots of help, so look forward to that!

Gave her a wedding ring: she said, “Thank you.” Gave her an advent calendar: she cried. #MyItalianWife #Lindt @caryoletta
Receive call from fiancée Carolina: I have an important question. Me: Yes? Carolina: Before meeting me, did you like pineapple on pizza? Me: Hated it. Carolina: I love you. #MyItalianFiancee

“Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.” Well, I’m quite sure I can pull off ‘merry’ for a day, but 365 consecutive days of unremitting happiness? That’s quite the ordeal. Will you permit me a twice weekly respite of introspective sadness?
