Turning a love of doodling into a good ol' wholesome relatable story about someone doing their best to protect the things they care about within the limitations of specific capacity, abilities, or skillset. And a fun little lesson on how to successfully navigate funding opportunities for creative projects.

Maybe that second part will be useful at some point.

A few frames from our work with with the in Fort McMurray, AB for

On a personal note it’s so cool to get to work in northern AB; it’s where I started experimenting with a camera for the first time while I was still running a pest control company — it’ll always be hilarious and amazing to me that there are people I’ve worked with to help kill their bugs, then to make stuff/ produce media for - to get to go back with an entirely new skill set was fun

To support RISER artists whose shows were cancelled due to the pandemic, Why Not Theatre offered a digital residency opportunity, providing funding and resources for the development of digitally-based performance works.

Leek ran a series of consultation periods with the artists, and provided film production resources, crew & creative support to three of the RISER Digital projects. Super grateful for the chance to work with all these lovely folks.

RISER Digital includes experimental works by Patricia Allison, Batz Recinos, & Clarissa Vàsquez of Creative Mafia, Leslie Ting, and Tiny Bear Jaws.

RISER Digital was made possible with the support of:

Aluna Theatre, Theatre Passe Muraille, bluemouth inc., Buddies In Bad Times Theatre, Cahoots Theatre, Edmonton Fringe Theatre, The Factory Theatre, fu-GEN Asian Canadian Theatre Company,, Luminato Festival, Necessary Angel Theatre Company, Nightwood Theatre, Roseneath Theatre, Shaw Festival, and The Theatre Centre

RISER is made possible in part thanks to the generous support of RBC Foundation, the Government of Canada, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The worst part about this is the voice over. The best is that around 30 people from a dozen businesses, organizations or similar in both Ontario and Alberta came together to make this.
