The Biggest Update Ever

Okay everyone. Nobody expected this I bet. A whole new face lift to the website. Welcome to the Jackie Dan version of the site now. JD - Productions is still alive, don't get me wrong. But things have changed. I'm no longer in small town Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia. I'm in big city Toronto, Ontario! So: Why am I here? and Why the change of the site?I'm now in Toronto pursuing my career in film - Acting, Directing, Stunts, what have you. I'm attending Toronto Film School for Acting, and am enjoying my time greatly. I began July 11th 2005, and am currently at the end of term 2. Three more terms left! FYI: I work at Blockbuster on Bloor and Dufferin ;).I changed the site so it will focus on my new works in Toronto, and as a promotional database for agents to look at.Now let me drop some news. Obviously you've seen the new frontpage. I have placed Ten Vids there for all you viewers: Special thanks to Jon "Kenuvan" Clover for the websace - extremely greatful. The first 5 are vids from Toronto, and the last 5 are vids from PHK. Let me run them down for you:
SNEAK: I got together with Alex Chung who I've met through the Stuntpeople's Message board a few years back, and Tim Biemann - a directing Student and one of my roommates to film this fight scene. It's still a work in progress but please look at it for yourself.
The Street: The first fight scene in which I collaborated with Alex. We filmed this during an all nighter outside my current house. Shooting took place between 2 and 5 at night.
Awe Nuts: Tim directed this short movie of myself and another roommate and classmate of mine: Curtis Bruton.
Dan vs Jourdan: Jourdan Chow of the oX Pasture and I got together and filmed this little fighting movie so the two of us wouldn't get out of practice and so we could film with each other. Camera done by old time friend and member of JD - Productions Richard McDougall who now lives in Toronto.
Jackie Dan TO: A mini sampler of the new stunts and moves I've learnt since I moved to Toronto - and if that doesn't intrest you then you should at least watch it for the shot of my girlfriend at the end of the sampler.
Blooper Reel: A compilation of some of my finest bloopers ever caught on tape.
Kyle Demo: This is a demo reel of Kyle Stewart - friend I used to film with and will continue to when I return home.
No Goods of January: This kept in the vault compilation finally sees the light of day. Several of the worst and funniest attemps made by Kyle and myself during tricking sessions in between shoot dates of Lottery. I may release the vid of our actual tricks.
Trampoline: This is simply what I looked like on my trampoline that I used to own.
Lottery Trailer: The trailer for the last movie that JD - Productions couldn't finish. Starring Kyle Stewart, Daniel MacDonald, w/ guest roles by Bryan MacDonald, and Brendan Boyle.So what have I been up too? Expect to see me in some movies. Here's a little run through.
Silence: If any of you have seen "Saw" this is the directors latest. I have an extra bit as a passerby in I believe scene 6. This will be released in Theatres.
Retribution: I played a gang member in this film by Emerson Wong. Check the trailer on his site to catch a glimpse of me.
UNLIMITED: A documentary of Canadian Stuntmen and Martial Artists that I was a major focus on. Will make it's way into some festivals but I will have a copy of it when I come home for Christmas.

So yeah. That's some of my news. I will be Home for Christmas on the 21st. Some points of intrest. I'm in love with my girlfirend Sammi Evans we'll have our 7 monthes on the 26th. Also I fulfilled one of my Life Dreams - I MET JACKIE CHAN!!!! Amazing eh. Well I hope everyone else from the class of 04' are dooing well, as well as my many friends from the class of 05'. Hope to see you all over Christmas. Ciao!
