I like to tell stories—some true, some totally made up. Proudly Canadian.

Our film @ASoberingStory was made thanks to Canadian public funding. We support the CRTC’s decision to mandate streamers to contribute a portion of their revenues to fund Canadian films. #CRTC #Heritage #documentary #filmmaking #indiefilm #CanCon #movies #films #ThunderBay

Why on earth do professional golfers have to keep their own score anyway? No other major sport requires its athletes to keep score… #JustAThought #golfer #golfing #rules #sports #EasyPeasy

Today’s WORLD RADIO DAY, here’s one of my oldies. Though the medium’s long in the tooth, it’s still marvellous and, in my humble opinion, an essential community service. #worldradioday #radio #essential #community #service #broadcast #CanCon #ThunderBay

Great watch.

[Letterboxd @letterboxd]

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio recall the hard-boiled noir and fast-talkin’ film influences that have fed the six features they’ve made together so far. Plus: Leo introduces Marty to Miyazaki.

Well said. Golf needs work.

[Mackenzie Hughes @MacHughesGolf]

Men’s professional golf is in a sad place. The direction it's headed right now isn't healthy or good for the sport.

And I know many of you are upset with the recent developments - I would be too.

I had some thoughts I wanted to share 🧵

[Ryan La Via @ryanlavia]

Solid work.

A fall season with new films from Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann and Ridley Scott? Let's ride.

[Ryan La Via @ryanlavia]

Great story that only touches briefly on our local issue…

[A Sobering Story @ASoberingStory]

Can’t share news anymore on social but the CBC has this wonderful piece about the amazing work Kyle and his team are doing here in Thunder Bay. Kyle plays an integral part in our #documentary… 👍 #addiction #substanceuse #recovery #recoveryispossible #endthestigma #filmmaking

There’s no denying the magnitude of Marty’s filmography. Simply the best.

[VANITY FAIR @VanityFair]

Martin Scorsese may be best known for iconic crime stories, but films like ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and ‘The Age of Innocence’ remind us that he’s given us gems of all kinds along the way.
