On this day in 2000, ftpmedia.com was born. To celebrate and commemorate the end of a decade of FTP Media, I have re-posted the original web video created during a residency at the Canadian Film Centre in 1999. My objective was to use digital video technology to tell a story that would effectively a) be meaningful, thus compelling, in order to therefore b) demonstrate a successful application of video produced online. Created with Apple video samples shipped with the new macs and Super 8 home movie footage to tell the story of my awakening, this video documents my experience with cancer in 1993 via home movie footage combined with a narration based on journal entries written during that time. This is the most personal project I have produced to date, singularly different - on both an emotional level and on a content level - from anything else I have completed since. Enjoy.

I posted this "virtual" holiday video card to YouTube in 2008. It is a home movie of me playing The Little Drummer Boy on the piano at a recital in 1989 -- back in my intermediate piano days. Enjoy.

Where the Truth Lies is an independent feature film directed by Ben Mazzotta, featuring Lisa Santonato in one of her rare acting appearances.

"Awakening" documents a young woman's experience with cancer. The story is told through a combination of home movie footage and a narration based on journal entries. The short film was produced at the Canadian Film Centre's New Media Lab in 1999.
