Creative Team
Writer, Producer & Director
Born in small town Saskatchewan, the Okanagan was home the moment I set foot in it. This project is everything I dreamed of. Spanning multiple genres the story has the longevity to hold audiences attention. I have high hopes for ‘Valley Pictures’. We have a great writing team made up of local comedians with a real passion to tell a smart, hilarious story that addresses social issues while paying homage to the classics.

Associate Producer
I would say that my most exciting work in film has been as Set Dec for X-Files, Sessions: 3-7. I love the story of ‘Valley Pictures’ and recognize how this project can strengthen the local film community in the Okanagan.

Writing Team
A growing comic in the Kelowna scene. Josh runs his own show at Munin's Post located downtown. His bland delivery is punctuated by a wry smile that draws audiences in for everyone to enjoy his dysfunctional sense of humour. He strives to become a better writer everyday and hopes to apply his genius to screen plays. We are fortunate to have him on the team.
