The post Opening the Vault first appeared on Horizon Line Films.]]> We just wrapped up the Advanced TV Doc workshop at King’s College on Friday. The class had a packed screening along with an in depth Q&A about process, the do’s and don’ts and advice for the next group of hopeful documentarians to pass through the university doors. I am extremely proud of all of them for what they accomplished. I am also sad to see them go.

With a little time off over the weekend I went back to revisit my final documentary project at Vancouver Film School from 2005. It’s a short doc called “Bleeding Blue Walls” that I co-created with Rosan Sashida Duffour. It’s a historical piece about the history of Canada’s oldest blues bar The Yale. My favourite part is still the narration by the late, great Jack Velker. Enjoy the watch!

The post Big Day 2017 first appeared on Horizon Line Films.]]> It’s been a couple of busy weeks for the Advanced TV Doc workshop at The University of King’s College in Halifax.  Teams made it through their shoot days in weeks three and four with few issues. Week five has seen every single one of them jump full throttle into their edits. This group is full of self starters, and I’ve noticed a bit more of a creative edge this year.  They are a determined lot, and their docs are eclectic in story and characters.

I will be profiling each group over the next week with a bit of a synopsis of their ten minute doc. For now here’s a quick rundown of the documentaries screening on March 24th. Everyone is welcome, so come on by and take in some great student documentary work.

The post TV DOC in Full Swing first appeared on Horizon Line Films.]]> We are heading into week four of the TV Documentary Workshop at The University of King’s College. Only three weeks to go. I snapped a behind the scenes pick on Friday while helping out on a shoot at the school. Doc students Victoria Walton and Bronwen McKie were behind the scenes shooting an opening with Halifax hip hop artist MAJE for their short documentary about his music and his journey.  They got some great footage using a two light set up with an occasional bounce. MAJE was a pro in front of the lens and a pleasure to work with. More to come about all the great work that’s happening leading up to their final screenings on March 24th.
