Today, in the fall of 2021, THE HOUSING GAMES is in post production, and it’s my hope that in a couple of months I can film the last interviews for this film:  Interviews with David Chudnovsky, and the other litigants who were responsible for challenging Holborn in the courts and releasing the secret documents; an interview with David Eby, our current Minister of Housing; and another with our current Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart; both of whom will tell us how they decided to work together to rectify the evil that plunged Little Mountain into darkness 14 years ago…  At least, this is my dream.

But it doesn’t mean that I can’t thank some of the people who have helped me get to this point.

First, I would like to acknowledge the assistance of the BRITISH COLUMBIA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS, whose financial support energized The Little Mountain Project in the first significant years of production. I would like also to thank the many generous supporters of the Little Mountain Film Crowdfunding Campaign. Over the months of May and June 2014 they gave me the faith to push forward into post production.

If there is anything that you want to contribute to the completion of this film, please contact me.

Here are some of the many people who have contributed to our progress.
