He has won two Golden Sheaf awards, a Leo and been nominated for a Gemini for his work as a cinematographer on feature films such as On the Corner and The Delicate Art of Parking. Brian is just completing direction of a one-hour anthology on BC artists for Knowledge Network and also has a short project made in collaboration with the Tomorrow Collective exhibiting at ContainR - on display from February 12 through 28 at the SHAW Tower Court Yard.
