By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about the G20 and the ensuing protests that took place this past weekend in Toronto. I heard they smashed a Tim Hortons. That’s not cool.

From the film company: “Everything takes place on Saturday, June 26 2010. I got attacked by protesters for filming, so please don’t think I am glorifying or embellishing anything whatsoever. Or rather, that they want this footage up at all. Just shooting and editing what I have the lawful right to. [...] http://www.yeahfilmscompany.com is for ☮ and none of this.”

This past Saturday, we hosted our first Raised by Wolves night at Ritual in Ottawa, ON.

Ladies danced.

Homies rocked their gear.

And Redman and Saukrates took over the DJ booth!

Here’s a selection of photos from my first week with the Canon S90.

PS – Exclusive Raised by Wolves tee dropping tomorrow at the event.

Shot and edited by yours truly with a Canon S90. Enjoy.

These dudes always do the craziest videos. OK Go’s ‘End Love’ off the album Of The Blue Colour of the Sky.

Actress Jane Lynch (Party Down/Glee) is the “PC” in this iPhone 4 spot from Take180.com. Ha!

The folks behind Machotaildrop invited me to review their film for Dose.ca. The article went live today:

“Machotaildrop is the story of a young skateboarder who realizes his dream of going pro and riding for the greatest company in the world: Machotaildrop.

That said, this isn’t your average Hollywood skate flick. First of all, viewers of a certain disposition – that is, anyone who’s ever picked up a skateboard – will be able to sit through it’s entirety and walk away with their dignity intact. Surprised? Machotaildrop avoids many of the common skate flick pitfalls through whimsical, fantastical imagery and a very light-hearted approach. If you consider yourself a connoisseur of skateboarding, alternate reality or just plain weird films, you will find pleasure in Machotaildrop.”

Read the full text here and catch the flick in your city when it rolls through. It’s worth it.
