Sorry we took a week off, it was my birthday/our anniversary and I wasn't really feeling the stress of it all.
This is somewhat of an update to that old Laos introductory video idea...

I presented this story at my stage show this past January in Toronto, and since then have been itching to find a way to tell it on the channel.
I'm thrilled to have found these turbines in U...
I already made a video using graffiti as a symbol in Albania, but I wanted to try again in Uruguay. Because this was a thing that happened to me that felt symbolic, and in turn a nice way to switch...

This is the second in my little two part working holiday to Bermuda. Another somewhat happy story, thankfully.
After this we're headed to Uruguay, a country I knew virtually nothing a...
Given quarantine and everything that's going on in the world, I thought I'd pull something up that's got a happier vibe. I filmed it this summer while visiting a friend on a quick vacation and figu...

Hi Patrons!
Kata and I thought that we'd wrap up this interwoven series by, well, weaving it. This video, nearly an hour long, is the combination of our short time in Bosnia, Croatia and Slo...
I'm not at all happy with how this video turned out. It has so much unachieved potential. But men tried to murder me just a few hours before I shot this and Francesco was traumatized and had to go ...

I'm really enjoying editing this season. Such deep and complicated history with so much beautiful footage. And working with Zygmund on the music has been great too.
As we work on these ...

And so it begins.
Choosing which people to focus on in history to paint a metaphorical picture is hard. Pronouncing names is hard. Summarizing nearly impossible to summarize history with only...

Hello lovely Patrons,
Happy Saturday! This is the second episode of the Bosnia series - again with beautiful music from Zygmund. While this is a video mostly about Bosnia, it includes s...

This season was the toughest to film so far. Not because there wasn't beauty everywhere, but because we were mugged/attempted murdered very violently and lost all our gear at the absolute worst tim...

Is it a city so ancient it defies our understanding of history? Or just a rock?
I took a little swim around so you could decide.
From a personal standpoint, this was one ...
Hello Patrons and welcome to 2020!
I'm sorry I've been away for a while, between the Christmas break and the stage show here in Toronto I've been a busy little beaver. And if I'm busy...

We filmed this episode on our last day in Okinawa. We were concerned that it might receive a lot of backlash, so we almost scrapped it. However, after a friend asked essentially the same questions ...

This video is a bit of a different stance than I normally take, as it is a fairly generic look at Japan rather than focusing on a single (rock) entity.
But I had been thinking about this iss...
This episode is about aquariums, because I was at an aquarium.
I feel almost incapable of not mentioning that the best part of the aquarium was the goats. Every day you could come around at a...

Sorry everyone, we had to re-upload the video. We accidentally released it yesterday even if just for a second. But now, after re-releasing it at the right time, nobody seems to be getting notified...

We met so many cats in Okinawa that I decided they deserved a story all their own.
A story about killing them.
As always, thank you! We really appreciate you being here.

A massive thank you to all our...
This is the saddest thing I've ever produced. Nobody expects you to make it to the end.

This is a story about loss. And, as is my custom, a rock.

The last of our small country tour is Malta. I did a bunch of videos here, and this is sort of the foothold for them all.

We went to see a piece of art in Zurich while waiting for our flight to Malta, and it made me reflective, so I wanted to talk about it.
