Sancha’s Cause (Is Coming To Town)
Announcing my directorial debut behind the camera, again written by Christopher Heatherington and Sherri Dahl. I have directed for stage on several occasions, and this was a very different experience. A film director has very little control by comparison. In this case, the actors and camera tell the story. Framing the scene is critical. Also,Continue reading Sancha’s Cause (Is Coming To Town)
Pineapple George: thirty minutes of mayhem and bison blood
In 2005, I taught Computer Literacy at Beaulieu College in Kyalami. It was fun. During my time there, I helped some students produce a play, based on an extremely short story I wrote in my youth, called Pineapple George. This was the transmogrified version, with undue credit. I hope this haunts their Google searches inContinue reading Pineapple George: thirty minutes of mayhem and bison blood
Weekend shooting: commercials
I did some shooting yesterday for a couple of commercials. The boom mic is resting on a step ladder because we didn’t have enough crew. Jury, the fearless director, is holding up a whiteboard to provide shade for my scene. The cinematographer chose not to be in the photo. I had to clap my ownContinue reading Weekend shooting: commercials
The Winner (2015)
The American Dream is alive and… uh, well… Today, after about a month of rehearsals, Chris, Sherri, Jury, Oleksandr, Elijah, Bryan and I helped bring together a vision of a satirical radio show through a camera lens or three. Look out for it in the coming months! Watch the full short film on YouTube.
First Feature Film Credit!
It’s a big deal for me. My role as Peter in the film Imitative Magic is up on IMDb. I’m coincidentally hosting the screening of the movie at my house in two weeks. This is very exciting. I have maybe four or five minutes of screen time, but that makes me incredibly happy.
Feature Films and Short Films, Oh My
Yesterday evening, I did my second (and final) scene from a feature film being shot in Calgary, by Blaise Kolodychuk and SC Entertainment. And this morning, I signed a non-disclosure agreement for a short film that is being shot early next month. Speaking of next month, we plan to shoot more episodes of our webContinue reading Feature Films and Short Films, Oh My
Behind the Scenes
On Saturday, a horde of people descended on my house and we shot another episode of our new web series. This is confusingly the fourth episode of the series, but only the third one we’ve shot. While it would be against the rules to tell you too much about the content, I can tell youContinue reading Behind the Scenes

Hello from a professional Calgary actor!
I’m happy to be here, and to say hello to all of you. My name is Randolph, and I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2010 I moved with my spouse to Canada, and have been setting up shop here in the performing arts ever since. I’ve got a page on IMDb, which isContinue reading Hello from a professional Calgary actor!
