Old P.D. Stuff
Undoubtedly Paul could be connected to almost anyone else in the Canadian film community in a relatively few steps. But also remember, the Paul is occupying a fairly obscure section of the Canadian film community, the Halifax film community
Jeff Pustil, Walter Borden, Lex Gigeroff, Alan McGillivary, Dave Albiston, Mark Laing
and many others are from that narrow group.
Throw in the Newfoundlanders, Brian Downey, Andy Jones, Mary Walsh, and others who are closely identified, and the community gets fairly tight.
There’s odd little crossovers. For instance, Geraint Wyn Davies who played Nick Knight in Forever Knight, did another TV series, set and shot in the maritime provinces, called Black’s Harbour. Both Lex Gigeroff and Jeff Hirschfield appeared in that show. Further connection: Forever Knight also starred Nigel Bennet, and both Ellen Dubin and Michael McManus appeared in that.
In addition, within LEXX people move around.
Dave Albiston started off as the mainstream FX guy, he did Kai’s crash into the Foreshadow, he did Bugbomb’s stop motion animation, in second season, he did many of the spaceship models. In third season, he appeared on camera as the first moth breeder. In fourth season, he was 2nd unit camera and actually dop on a couple of episodes including the Game.
Or Alex Busby, starts off as storyboard artist, right now he’s Special Effects Producer.
