The idea for Dog Dazed came in a moment of great personal embarrassment. About two years ago I attended a public meeting in the Capilano River Regional Park near my home in North Vancouver – an information session about off-leash restrictions in the local watershed where I walk my dog.

Dog Dazed – Mountains of Doo
So my dog Billie isn’t super big – under 50 pounds – and we definitely don’t overfeed her svelte Husky/Whippet X self. (Love the dog, can you tell?) But yesterday she pooped FOUR times. It was a day like this a year or so ago that got me thinking about just how much dog poop
Tell Facebook to Protect Kids Online
While working on Sext Up Kids, which recently re-aired on CBC Doc Zone (produced by Dream Street Pictures), I was struck by the insidious paradox that’s tormenting so many young teen girls.

A Word from Hilary’s Therapist
I am thrilled with the outpouring of positive responses to the documentary and to the radio interview about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) with Anna Maria Tremonti on The Current the morning When the Devil Knocks ran on The Passionate Eye. I’ve heard from therapists who work with DID clients, spouses and partners seeking information for
Hilary’s Daughter
When I wrote Hilary’s family to let them know that Hilary’s story will be on The Passionate Eye tomorrow, daughter Jenny (who’s featured in the documentary) wrote me back such a moving email that I asked her if I could share it: “I am making up posters to put up around town telling people when
When the Devil Knocks – the story behind the story
Did you know that dissociative identity disorder is about as common as bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia? Or that our personalities actually start out fractured…and normally integrate as we age? Find out much more about dissociative identity disorder and the making of When the Devil Knocks when you listen to Helen Slinger and Radio Canada International’s
Hilary’s Moment at the Film Festival
The Vancouver International Film Festival in October 2010 was an absolute high for Hilary from beginning to end. I thought she might be nervous given that, when we first met, she was very afraid that people seeing her story would think she was crazy. But she wasn’t scared at all – she was happy and
