I am a Canadian First Nations writer of screenplays and teleplays, journalist & film critic. I first got into writing movie reviews a couple of years ago while I was living in the Canadian Rockies and was approached by the editor of Jasper’s only independent publication, The Fitzhugh to contribute a series of reviews in the summer of 2007, as “Dr. Philm“.
I am also a very recent addition & blog column journalist with The Vancouver Observer http://www.vancouverobserver.com/ where I write articles focusing on first nations issues.
I love movies of all kinds, no matter the genre, length, subject matter, colour, B&W, or creed. I think in visual terms and have been often called a dreamer. .
I encourage comments about my blog and will respond to any and all. Cheers!
