If you’ve given me the chance to talk for more than 60 seconds at any point in the last year, I’ve probably told you about an idea for an ad that I’ve had… Happy to finally get it out there.

Huge shoutout to the absolutely EPIC cast and crew who made this happen. Special thanks to the Peeled Media team for all the support—couldn’t have done it without you.

Thanks to @arbutus_coffee for letting us use their wonderful coffee spot too🙏🏼

Dad dancing at its finest.

I had originally built this concept around the phrase “pants dance like a rockstar”, only to realise that, after shooting the entire project, the term “pants dance” only works with a British audience (pants = underwear in the UK). There not much Canadian lingo that trips me up these days, but that one got me good🤦🏼‍♂️ Shout out to my mum for suggesting our what we used as our final tagline in the end product.

I got to shoot/direct one of my favourite pieces so far this summer in Denmark. Racing an F4 and a Porsche along an airstrip for Xena Solutions. Had an awesome team helping us out to bring it together!

I’ve always been a fan of the idea that exposing yourself to small doses of stress will stand you well in the long run. I’ve been dipping in the sea a couple of times and week and cold showering most days too. Even if you’re only in for a minute, there’s nothing quite like how you feel afterwards.

It just so happened that @samkolder was running a film competition revolving round cold dips right as I was getting into them. He’s collaborated with @othership.app which I’ve been using to follow along with some breath work and accountability for doing my cold dips. If you’ve not tried them, I suggest you give them a go! Even a minute long cold shower will do the trick!

Thanks to @sahilchawlafilms for giving me a hand in filming this one! #ColdDip #PlayitcoolKC #Othership @othership

Feels good to be ripping the drone around again🙏🏼 Chasing thé ever so stylish @nicolasnanculef through the local dirt jumps track.

We had one battery left at this point and so only one more chance to get the shot. Nico hit all the jumps seamlessly and I just about managed to keep him in shot for the entire run for a great end to the morning.
