Been a Minute
Time is [a flat circle/flying/meaningless] but here’s a quick TV update to catch the feed up a little. Last year the big highlights were Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, which is available Apple TV; the season 2 opener of Pretty Hard Cases now on CBC and Netflix; Astrid and Lilly Save The World, streaming on Syfy and Crave; and Amazon Prime’s The Lake.
This year I was thrilled to recently direct an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, as well as two episodes of Family Law season 3. Some exciting news coming down the pipes for the fall that’s currently under wraps, but more on that soon…
