Rebecca Marsden designed these graphic novel format collages of the two main Clifton films for a party to thank the participants.

Clifton Screening in York Region
A “Best of” collage from some of the Clifton short films, along with some new footage, was submitted to the Multimedia Film Festival of York Region (http://www.yorkregionfilmfestival.com/). Selected films are shown at various venues around the region.
I just found out that on May 7th, “Clifton” has been selected to screen at the Aurora Cultural Centre along with 16 other short films.
I must confess to being a touch squeamish about this showing as, for the first time, I put myself on camera to pull the various stories together, playing Clifton’s frustrated neighbour “Janet”. I have preferred to hide behind the camera up until now. 🙂
Here is the film that will be showing:

Clifton Wins Again
Last night was the Awards Gala for the Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival.
My short film – “Clifton Finds a Party” – won the Platinum (first place) Award for the Drama/Comedy category.
I want to thank all of the talented actors who participated in this film, some of whom were performing in front of the camera for the first time. Producing/Directing/Writing/Editing these short films has been a great educational journey for me. As I said in my acceptance speech last night, I am really a writer first. This emerging film festival has been a great opportunity for me to explore story telling with this medium. The next step forward will involve finding some partners to produce better quality films for my stories in future but wearing all the hats in this first stage has been a great way to start.
Some pictures from the afternoon showings of the films and the evening event:
