I have officially taken out insurance. I have $2 million liability, which allows me to shoot on any public property with permits, all my gear is covered for theft and damage and I can now rent from any production company in the city. This is a huge advantage for medium to large sized projects. By hiring me for a project you can take full advantage of what my insurance offers you.

Last weekend I shot a horror film with Jay Malloy, Chad Dobbin and Edwin Lau. We had a lot of fun. Jay and the gang had constructed a really nice set that we took full advantage of. By the end of it we had removed walls, splattered the place with blood and used a really nice dolly that they built out of wood right there at Hot Sets. We were supposed to be done around midnight but we didn't finish until 7am the next morning. Everyone worked really hard. I'd make another film with these guys in a heartbeat.

I've added some more gear to my ever growing kit. I now own a Sennheiser EW112P-G2 Evolution Wireless System. This means I can record sound wirelessly from a lav microphone (or other source) and mix it right on the camera. I've also upgraded my flag kit to a Road Rags Large.

Still negotiating work for a few short films and gaffing a feature length docu-drama.

Projects have started to roll in. I've signed on to shoot a short film with director Ryan Hanson that will be shot sometime in March.

I'm also in the works on a music video and short film with actor\director Jeff Jordan.

I have also decided to insure my company and all equipment with the following insurance:

$2 Million Liability

this allows any production that I produce to acquire permits and shoot on city property
the shoot is also covered for up to $2 million if anyone gets hurt or property gets damaged during filming (for example a light falls on someone's head or a location gets burned down!)

Equipment Coverage

if any equipment gets damaged while shooting the replacement is paid for by the insurance company (there is a $1000 deductible)

Extra Equipment Rental Insurance

every large rental house in Toronto requires the renter to carry this insurance -- YOU CANNOT RENT FROM PLACES LIKE William F. Whites or PS WITHOUT IT
any production I am a part of can rent up to $187 500 in extra equipment
