Hey look! It’s a thing that I’m in! It’s for a local TV show called The Sustainable Region, the video my team made can be seen here.

New Overshare!!! WE BACK, WE GLOBAL! I don’t know what that means. 

But school is over, and Overshare is back! So Enjoy. And please share it on Facebook, Twitter, and reblog this post: I’m worried no one will watch this since it’s been two months, and I feel like the subject matter beyond the jokes is something we all deal with in a big way nowadays.

A new Buddy Guys is up! “Horoscope”, in which the new Zodiac sign makes Shyam Valera question his entire life. 

Enjoy! And please reblog/share the sketch if you like it :)

This afternoon I decided to just go ahead and finish up a short film that we shot on a whim this February. 1.5 hours turned into 7 (editing is the one thing in life I can do with no sense of time, laziness, or anything but joy, really) and here it is!

Jinx. It’s a short film that Shyam Valera and I wrote for an assignment in high school: make a film with no dialogue. So we did, but were exempt from handing it in because we were organizing our 3rd-annual city-wide film festival, so about a year later, when I was finally a video camera owner, we decided it was time to make something and this was just sitting there as a fun little idea.

So we shot during Olympic break (the Olympics took our school’s busses, so class was out) with help from Kevin Lam, Mannan Ahmed, and Dan Johnson. Total writing time ~2/3 hours, total shooting time ~8/9 hours, total editing/colour/visual effects (my 1st ever VFX shot is in there! See if you can catch it :D)/post time ~30 hours, I’d guess. 

I hope everyone enjoys it— it’s not much, and there are definitely glaring flaws, but if you cracked a smile then I think it was a success. Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for watching!

PS I JUST WATCHED (half of) WILLOW SMITHS WHIP-MY-HAIR SONG AND I TOTALLY GET WHY IT’S A BIG DEAL NOW

PODCAST! EPISODE NINE! This is a really good one, folks. I should know, I’m halfway through listening to it.

We straight hate on Queen Latifah up front, and, to be perfectly honest, I can’t say she doesn’t deserve it. Frickin’ Queen Latifah.

Random things happen sometimes. Exhibit A: I’m doing video coverage of FIFA 2010 for the Vancouver Province. I think it’s for the extensive library of soccer expertise that is my head*.


*I have little to no soccer knowledge. Kyle Benning and Romi GIll (pictured), however, have a ton. So it’s going to be good stuff, and coming soon.
