He has worked as a Gaffer, Lighting Technician, and mentor to many lighting interns. His film credits include: ATM, Goon, You Kill Me, and My Winnipeg.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellation Policy\n\n\n\n\nParticipants must cancel up to 4 full business days prior to the course start date to receive an 80% refund.\n\n\n\nNo refund will be given to participants who cancel within 4 full business days before the course start date, or if they do not attend the course.\n\n\n\nFilm Training Manitoba reserves the right to cancel, or postpone, any course where a minimum registration level has not been met.
