A lonely man musters the courage to confront the object of his desire, but when she refuses his advances, the night takes a turn for the worst.

Back in 2019, the gang got together and made a film, start to finish, in two days for the Winnipeg Film Group's 48-Hour Film Challenge. We had 48 hours to write a script, shoot a film, and edit it all together, an entire production squeezed into one sleepless and harrowing weekend. We went to the Gimli Film Festival to show off our little horror film, and we came away with a bunch of nominations, including a nom for best film!
.. And I'm posting it publicly tomorrow on YouTube for the first time. (Follow the Second Watch YouTube, so you don't miss it! Link in bio.)

That's right. Get your popcorn ready for our 48-hour film submission. Don't worry it's only 4 minutes long. 🍿

Despite the pain we all endured, we had so much fun creating "We All Die Alone," and we can't wait to do it again.

Remember how we used to do things together before the pandemic? Well, keep your specs peeled because later today I'll post a Vimeo link of a short film we shot way back when.

Enjoy the poster for "Fearless." Side note: my brother (the man in the poster) is as psychotic as he looks.

Honestly, I can't wait to get the team together and start shooting again...

SYNOPSIS: A man chases a simple dream of becoming the greatest competitive snowball athlete the world has ever known.
