David Paperny and I have been nominated for a 2018 Canadian Screen Award for Best Writing, Documentary. for Mohamed Fahmy Half Free.
Not mentioned in this nomination are two people who also deserve recognition - story editor Samantha Beck and editor Dom Basi. The film would have suffered without their substantial contribution. Thank you both. And thank you to David for asking me to be involved in the project.
"Three long-time Vancouver-generated reality series have fallen to the axe."
“We are extremely proud of the volumes of strong Canadian original content we have delivered to audiences over the years,” said Godfrey. “After resonating with legions of fans, Chopped Canada, Timber Kings and Yukon Gold have reached their natural end and won’t be renewed for another season. The success that these series had is a true testament to our exceptionally talented production partners at Paperny Entertainment and eOne and Corus applauds the cast, creators, producers, and writers for their dedication to these Canadian originals.

CBC bringing “Educating” format to Canada
I’m three weeks into Story Editing ‘This is High School’.
Here is the CBC Press release.
"The ultimate apex predator of mixed martial arts is back and he’s determined to find out who’s the best pound for pound fighter in history — among dinosaurs, that is."
While many would assume that St-Pierre would be the modern-day equivalent of a T. rex, he says he wouldn't want to be that particular predator. "I wouldn't want to be a T. rex because T. rex had the hardest life ever," he says. "They hunted some of the most dangerous and ferocious herbivores and they had to compete with other T. rexes. It was probably the hardest life ever."
St-Pierre says he would prefer to have been a dromaeosaurus, a small but nasty dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous. Think of a meaner version of the velociraptors from Jurassic Park and you’ll have the idea. “It was very smart,” St-Pierre says. “Pound for pound, it was probably the best killing machine ever.”
GSP is back — as host of the dinosaur show The Boneyard
“Even the insects, they could kill us,” he said. “I wouldn't last a day, and it would be a bad day.”
“You know in my sport I try to be, so to speak, the apex predator in the octagon,” St-Pierre explained. “So with this show, I'm on a quest to find out who is the all-time, baddest, meanest apex predator that ever lived.
Georges St-Pierre talks 'The Boneyard,' getting back in the octagon
The 2 pilot episodes premiere April 14th at 9 and 9:30pm.
"He was also a fantastic nerd, a man who despite his chiseled frame, athletic genius, barely concealed rage, and millions of dollars, was willing to admit that he was more interested in dinosaurs than sports."
Now, with MMA light years away from the shadowy spectacle it was when GSP made his UFC debut back in 2004 (his job done, I guess), the former champion of the world has finally found a way to spin his world-changing success in the Octagon into an opportunity to indulge his first and truest love. On April 14th, the History Channel will be premiering a new two-part television special called The Boneyard With Georges St-Pierre in which the former fighter will travel the world looking for dinosaur bones. After two years of self-imposed exile the world's most dangerous nerd has found a new home.

"The Boneyard with Georges St-Pierre"
Mixed martial arts superstar Georges St-Pierre is regarded as one of the greatest champions in the history of the sport, but there’s something he loves even more than fighting: dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts. Now, in his first ever break from the ring, Georges is embarking on a globetrotting journey into the heart of modern palaeontology.
