Update #2: JIm Rimmer Film Outtake
Things are moving along. A few bumps in the road (my son spilling water on my laptop and completely frying it...but nothing of the film was lost). I have decided to attend the tribute ceremony to Jim in Vancouver April 25th. Perhaps I will meet some of you there.
Until i get further along to a point where i can show work in progress, I thought I would share one of my favorite clips of Jim in an unplanned moment in the filming. It always makes me smile.
