The Ultimate Donation

My last assignment for my TV class. We had to do a report on the theme of death. I went up to McGill’s Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry building to talk to some students and a professor about the program of donating your body to science. What it’s all about and what it’s like being a first year medical student working on these donated bodies.

A lecture on love

For an assignment for my TV class in Journalism school we had to put together a package on love. I happened upon a facebook event that said Rabbi Yisroel Bernath was giving a lecture on love at the Chabad house in NDG, Montreal. So I went.

Please ignore my bridge in the middle, I prefer doing voice overs to being on camera myself!!

Bowling for Miracles

I had to put together a TV package on the theme of miracles. A friend of mine was putting together a great fundraiser and I thought, what’s more miraculous than babies who survive even when they’re born super early or who for some reason don’t seem like they’re going to make it?

Brother Andre, the founder of Montreal’s iconic St. Joseph’s Oratory, will be canonized in October, 2010. The announcement comes at a time that Montrealers are redefining their cultural and spiritual identity. So what does the city’s first saint mean? This documentary looks at the phenomenon of Brother Andre through the eyes of a contemporary atheist.

This is my radio documentary on the experiences of three Canadian soldiers who went to Afghanistan at least once. There are some edits I’d like to fix, maybe on a rainy day when I have time!

Anyway, hope you enjoy!
