About The Artist Currently Named Blake

actually, it's just Blake.

From an island to the Big City.

Born and raised on the West Coast of BC, I am a 29 year old content creator with a focus on dark comedy. I hail from Vancouver Island and am currently residing in Vancouver proper.

I've been making short films for a long time, a really long time. In fact, here's the oldest surviving film of mine. I have a passion for filmmaking and love to create digital media in my spare time.

Whether it be filmmaking, programming or web & graphic design I am always making something. I have formal training in various areas of digital media creation and am a self-taught programmer.

I took a wee break to work on set full-time for the past few years but have moved back to independent media creation since the pandemic.

I not only do freelance creative work but I also work in the film industry in Camera & Electrics.

I still enjoy the film set but have been returning to freelance work since the pandemic hit, life's too short be always be on set.

Into the real world

Before getting into the film industry, I found myself surrounded by movies. Not surrounded by movies as in I watched a lot, I did, but my neighbours, my aunt, and other friends worked in the film industry. My second job ended up being at movie theatre and I took every opportunity I got to turn in a video essay instead of a written one in highschool.

I even won an award for the film above for Best Comedy but don't remember from where.

I took photography "classes" (summer camp) and computer animation courses before I even knew I wanted to create. It's in my blood and, while I might not be the best creator you come across, I work hard and am always looking for a new challenge. I live to learn new modes of creation.
