Smart, successful, and charming, Elsie is the perfect girlfriend; she also happens to be a serial monogamist, with a long history of broken hearts. When Elsie breaks up with her long-standing girlfriend to pursue another woman, she faces her mother’s disapproval, conflicting advice from friends, and the nagging suspicion that she may have made a big mistake. Set in the Parkdale neighborhood of Toronto, Portrait of a Serial Monogamist invites audiences to peek behind the curtain to a world of smart, funny and relatable queer characters, dealing with the universal complications of modern relationships. Not another coming out story, this is a fresh coming-of-middle-age romantic comedy.

This animation was shot from hi-con coloured Lomo photographs of a girl in various animal states, licking her wounds. A meditation on female anger.

Sea of Love

"In the Town of Banff they must have 50 candy stores on the main street. They sell these little candy deer. Banff is a National Park and so the real dear are all around you, and the stuffed and mounted ones too. I played with the images of the deer and idea of anthropomorphism in this piece. The sound track really up the ante on that." - Christina Zeidler

Enduring a dysfunctional family requires stamina, wit and sharp survival instincts, as demonstrated in this anguished ode to family peculiarity. A pixelated tale of a girl whose off-kilter parents become lost in a mission to nurse a raccoon - an unfortunate road-kill victim.

Stunning hand-tinted imagery intermingles with a love letter to the artist's departed dog Mica. Bittersweet as any country song, so familiar you swear you've heard it before - but it's just your heart breaking, worn and sure. Made at Phil Hoffman's Film Farm, 2001.
