Dear VFX Worker

You deserve more than this.

You deserve more than the 80-120 hour work weeks. You deserve more than the dark rooms where you labor away with your cold lunch on your desk for 16 hours a day. You deserve credit for the work you’ve done, acknowledgement for your artistry and better treatment across the board.

I’ve worked for 10 years in film – 7 of those in VFX and I marvel at the fact that of all…

So I’ve been sick all week and used up 3 of my 5 sick days for the year and it’s only January. I’ve spent much of the time wishing I could sleep, staring aimlessly at various television/youtube shows and reading with some scattered attempts at writing.

Between fits of coughs and drastic ploys to attempt to fall asleep I’ve gotten barely any work done on my current writing projects. Everytime I…

My Nephew’s Vacuum - The Story of Victor Vacuum

My Nephew’s Vacuum – The Story of Victor Vacuum

At the time of writing this, I have 1 nephew whom I love to pieces and 0 nieces. Needless to say I was very excited to be an auntie and this kiddo is beyond amazing. Even though I live in another country and don’t get to see him everyday, I try to spend as much time as I can visiting.

When he was around 18 months old, he started becoming obsessed with vacuum cleaners. Granted I wasn’t present at…

My First Book - A Kickstarter Project

My First Book – A Kickstarter Project

I’m just a few days away from launching my first book on kickstarter – a crowdfunding platform for projects. We created a board book: Victor Vacuum that we need help self publishing.

Why a book about a vacuum? A kid’s board book nonetheless.

Well, I’ll tell you.

My nephew has been in love with vacuums since he was about 18 months old. He got a toy toddler sized vacuum for Christmas and he just…
