This is my film/multi-media project "Family Tree" now on exhibit at the #Mississauga Festival of Trees, Dec 8 - 17, 2023 presented by @creativehub_1352 creativehub1352.ca #art #film #filmmaker @MissArtsCouncil @CreativeHub1352 @citymississauga @StephenDasko @AlvinTedjo

@GunnerGale I had the pleasure of meeting 2 of the film's 'stars' - the lions Bongo and Caesar, that played the maneaters. In real life, both cats (especially Bongo) were gentle - for lions - and could play killer roles. Today I think they'd do this with CGI.

Did you know that the real Maneaters of Tsavo are in Chicago’s #FieldMuseum — you can see the exhibition there and read more about them here: fieldmuseum.org/blog/tsavo-lio…

@DADiClementi This is a cricket. They're related to grasshoppers. They're very shy - except for the one that could sing and dance in "Pinocchio".

I can’t speak to the feelings of whatever the fck this is, but I can assure you that I am more frightened of him than he could ever be of me. Welcome to Dad & Mutual of Omaha’s, Wild Kingdom. 😳

@RufusTSuperfly 1978 was a good year.

@DanielleNicki Nothing like some time away from a WIP to get fresh eyes and critical distance.

@aggiebrett @jeannevb There's no 1 size fits all. :) #Scriptchat

FYI, everyone is welcome to join us on #scriptchat! Here's the direct link. Just make sure you use the hashtag in EVERY tweet. twitter.com/search?q=%23sc… Come on in! We're talking about being productive. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #NaNoWriMo

@jeannevb Never. For me, so-called 'productivity tools' are a distraction and just create busy work. Simply clearing some quiet time to write is the key. Speaking for myself of course. #Scriptchat

Do you have any special "tools" you use to help you be productive? Like an app, organizer, etc. #scriptchat

@aggiebrett @jeannevb Accountability groups are the best. I participate in a group for documentary filmmakers and it's been very helpful. Perhaps I should do the same with a writing group. #Scriptchat

@jeannevb Short term goals work best for me. Long term (more than 6 months) is too easily derailed. #Scriptchat

How many of you make a list of goals for the year? Or are you more inclined to create shorter-term goals (or a combo of both)? #scriptchat

@jeannevb Writing productivity has been a challenge. I find I'm collaborating with other writers and I'm focusing on directing. I do enjoy working on other people's stories but I would also like to write my own stories. #Scriptchat

It's #Scriptchat night! 5-6pm PT | 8-9pm ET Topic: Productivity. Have you sucked at it? What's your plan? Do you need a new strategy? Let's discuss. #ScreenwritingTwitter #WritingCommunity #writerslife #PipelineWriters

@jplarocque People will be analyzing this for years to come, trying to figure out how to rinse & repeat. I think I'll just go make a film that interests me.

@VivasMunro @ShezzyNM @MarkhorPictures @photonfilmscan @Elevation_Pics Thank you @VivasMunro It was good to see you and @rossbrew again.

Big Thanks to Oakville Film Festival Industry Summit amazing industry leaders 🤩🌟especially @motionpix @ShezzyNM @MarkhorPictures @photonfilmscan @Elevation_Pics Very informative, and generous sharing information 🙌 #SupportIndieFilm #filmfestival #offa2023

As a kid, Oprah Winfrey was my biggest star in the world. Then Oprah lost her mind when Tina Turner surprised her for her 50th Birthday Show — that's when I learned who the biggest star in the world was to the biggest star in my world. RIP to the World's Biggest Star

Thank you @FilmCaCinemas for the pair of passes to see a movie with my son. (I was one of the winners in their Academy Award contest 😀)

100%!! And so advanced and sophisticated by Western European standards, but that did not fit with the conquerors’ perception of all non-whites as pagan savage, and the Franciscans burned all of the Mayan codices they found…

@rachel_is_here @juggstorecowboy @RevueCinema haha. FX back then were in a whole other reality.

So @juggstorecowboy and I went to see Escape from LA - my first time watching! I was not mentally prepared for the surfing scene

Acting as a bratty Pinocchio was a highlight on @pinocchiomovie 😈☠️ . I sometimes didn’t copy my live action references perfectly because some actions worked better in the moment while animating to the voice acting. @RealGDT #animator #reference #guillermodeltoro

@JohnAtTheNews @CVC_CA @saugaparksrec @UTMBiology @evoecolab @AlvinTedjo The spring migrants seem early this year. Some intrepid redwing blackbirds have been in Rattray Marsh since late February. But seeing kinglets return is a sure sign.

Golden-crowned Kinglet & Great Blue Heron this afternoon along Joshua Creek. @CVC_CA @saugaparksrec @UTMBiology @evoecolab @AlvinTedjo
