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.
Marie Tyrell Premiere – March 1 in Vancouver
Hey Folks!
This is to let you know about the VANCOUVER PREMIERE screening of MARIE TYRELL, my latest production. All the info is below.

1974 meets 2006: Underground Vancouver filmmaker Flick Harrison
adapts D.M. Fraser’s tour de force, Marie Tyrell
Marie Tyrell is a humanizing portrait of a woman on death row, from inquisitive teen to uncompromising revolutionary leader. Like the 1974 short story by legendary local author D.M Fraser, Harrison weaves multiple perspectives, splintered time and forceful poetic language into a startling examination of the politics of dissent.

Urgh’s Quake 2 config file!
Hey all – thought I’d just post my urgh.cfg file, for those who are Quake 2 geeks like me. I play under the name uuuurgh, though I can’t remember how I came up with the name.
Sometimes people are looking to learn about these things. If you have a custom config like me, you have to go into the console when you first run Q2 (by hitting the tilde: ~ ) and then type “exec urgh.cfg” or whatever you choose to call it. Put it in the baseq2 folder before you play.
Flick on Battlestar Galactica
So the photo at left is me, Flick Harrison, with Lucy Lawless, on the set of Battlestar Galactica. I played the character “Bell” in episode 2-08, “Final Cut.” It airs March 11 in Canada on Space!
I figured if anything were worthy of posting on a blog, this is it.
Please let me know if you find anything on the web about this episode, you can link it here. I’m especially happy with all the images all over the web of me and Lucy together!
Welcome!
This is my first blog post ever. Still setting up.
Enjoy…

Why the Low-budget Filmmaking Glut will be Good
Some people complain that filmmaking is becoming too inexpensive, and now anyone thinks they can make a film. They say this will result in a glut of bad films.
Well, what did we have before? Too many good films?
Anyone who says this is an elitist arse. When they complain about too many people making films, they most certainly do not mean themselves. No, they have surpassed some mystical benchmark of divine birthright, involving a combination of ‘natural’ talent, intelligence, and insight combined with superior upbringing, and they therefore have a right to consider themselves an artist.
Bollocks!
