Flick’s pics of The Organ in rehearsal
Taken in Vancouver, on the day they left for their European tour. I was shooting video for John Anderson, an artist-about-town (with fabulous moustacheness I might add).
They were working out new material and waiting for their ride to the airport!
It was pretty neat to hear all the songs without lyrics. Katie was intensely listening and throwing in the odd comment or suggestion. Didn’t get good shots of the rest of the band, as my job was to shoot the right-hand side of the room, while John shot the other way… Drummers, as always, tend to disappear behind their drums, making shooting difficult!

Forgot to blog this Georgia Straight interview back when it came out – so here it is.
I discuss the Big New Vancouver International Film Centre (VIFC) and its lack of Canadian programming.
This article was sparked (I believe) by an anonymous email that included me in the CC line. Apparently I am the go-to guy for independent cinema rabble-rousing in this town, which isn’t a bad thing. Pieta Wooley refused to interview the mystery person anonymously by email, but here’s what she got out of me, on the record:
It’s an interesting issue, this is the first time my attention’s been drawn to it. I’m interested to know why this Sam Sam entity chose me as the kaka-disturber… But I’ll take the bait!
Marie Tyrell review in FURTHERFIELD
Camille Baker reviews Marie Tyrell in Furtherfield.Org, a net.art journal.
Baker writes that the interactive DVD’s “… approach perhaps harkens back to the Fluxus or Structuralist Movements in experimental film making of the 60 and 70’s, where the materials for making the film were exposed, to thus, become the film content. In this case, Harrison not only used the technological materials as the product, but all the parts in the process from the funding, to the text adaptation, to the filming of political protests, to the historical fodder for the story, etc. as the materials as well.”
Review of Marie Tyrell in Discorder
Penelope Mulligan reviews Flick’s interactive DVD Marie Tyrell & the Cineworks cinematic salon in this month’s Discorder:
“It’s probably the most audacious use of the Extra Features shtick since the advent of DVDs.”
See it in Strut, Fret, and Flicker.
The Radio music video
Just finished this music video for The Radio…
Enjoy and share….
MONKEY WARFARE
So I just finished working on Monkey Warfare, Reginald Harkema’s new film starring Don McKellar!
I will play a small part after the closing credits – a surprise safety video, if you will, in the context of urban guerillaism. The hint is that my script came from Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman.

There’s more about MONKEY WARFARE on the website… still in post-production so it’s only a tease…
BATTLESTAR mania
arteroids
ARTEROIDS is a fun game – intermedia, they calls it, and if you think poetry,
video games and internet as three different media, you’ll get it.
Hamster Cage
Hey everyone! Make sure you check out The Hamster Cage by Larry Kent the Vancouver independent film rock-star. It stars Tom Scholte, one of my favourite actors whom I’ve been fortunate enough to work with on a number of occasions.
