Did we live or die?...watch to find out. :) This is part one of a three part doc. Shot by Ben Aylsworth and Saira Gangji. Cut by Ben Aylsworth. Music by Elbow.

Fort Irwin part two


George Stroumboulopoulos, host of The Hour, and I travelled to Death Valley and Ft. Irwin to witness the mock Iraq that has been built there. Incredible trip and incredible place to say the least, getting up at 3am to drive to the valley, crossing it as the sun rose over the desert. Nice. Got her done by early afternoon and then drove off road for the rest of the afternoon in the desert. Good times. Part one of two. Field produced, produced and shot by Ben Aylsworth.

MooseFest Primer


This is a segment I put together on MooseFest for the now defunct CBC Sports Journal. I had been bugging people to let me tell this story. No one was interested, not even Sports Journal. I had to get another show to 'back me' and lend me the gear to shoot it. This piece ended up winning an Honourable mention at the prestigious 'Chris' awards in the US as well as winning the 'Action' category at the Waterwalker Film Festival. This piece was constructed as an introduction to the sport of 'Extreme Kayaking'. Produced, directed, shot and narrated by Ben Aylsworth.

Rafting sucks


From Good Gravy's first kayaking film 'Who's Your Daddy?'. There's a special relationship between kayakers and rafters. Kayakers hate rafters and rafters worship kayakers. This is an homage to the kayaking fantasies we all have between rapids. Yes the guns are real. Produced, shot and cut by Ben Aylsworth. Adam Aylsworth responsible for set design.

Hanlan Rowing Club


A freelance project I did early on in my career. This is the first ten minutes. It was created to add a voice back when Toronto was competing for the 2008 Olympics. The Hanlan rowing club wanted to make sure waterfront redevelopment didn't mean they would lose their club. If people are dying for the rest I can upload it. But until then enjoy the pretty pictures. Produced, shot and cut by Ben Aylsworth

Using Fear in Sport


This was part of The Hour's Fear Special I produced for Halloween back in 06. It was accidental, the funding I had for a piece I was going to produce on BASE jumping at the New River bridge fell through. I needed something on the positive side of fear. So I did what I had to do; Got in the boat and ran my mouth off. To camera stuff was shot on the gull. I devised a nifty little mic pak for the wireless synched with the second camera on my bow. It's a little embarrassing now. Produced, Shot and Cut by Ben Aylsworth.

Meatloaf on The Hour


An interview that I shot with Ed Middleton for The Hour with 'Meat at the Queen's Head pub in Toronto'. I ended up cutting this interview as well, which is why it ended up here. Otherwise I imagine it would have been lost in the library ether. Shot by and cut by Ben Aylsworth.

Part 3: The Misadventures of Cool and The Gang


Part 3 of 4: Back in the day the Good Gravy crew took a trip to Costa Rica to film for their upcoming kayaking film 'Main Stream'. We shot the hell out of the adventure and I turned it into a short doc. It's pretty bad, yet pretty funny. What can I say, we and especially me, were new at this story telling thing. Good carnage at the end of this section. Directed, Produced, shot and cut by Ben Aylsworth. With help of course.

Main Stream Carnage


Kayaking champ Billy Harris wasn't always the superstar that he is now. In the early days he struggled with judgement, just like all of us. This segment from Good Gravy's Main Stream represents one of those moments. It's a sequence that I put together trying to make if feel more 'real'. Today it amuses me. I think Bill is doing whatever he can to forget about it. Sadly (for him) I keep getting it on TV; Real TV, World's Most Extreme Videos and Sports Gone Wild have all aired it. Produced Directed and all that shit by Ben Aylsworth.

The Freedom Theatre, Jenin, West Bank, Palestine


An organization started by Juliano Mer Khamis that I volunteered at in the summer of '08 in the Jenin Refugee Camp in Jenin, the heartland of the West Bank in Palestine. During the summer Lisa Fender and I taught storytelling, cinema photography, video editing to the theatre's instructors. As a final project we all worked on this video telling people what The Freedom Theatre is and what it does. Lisa even managed to get 'detained' in a detention centre by the Israeli military while doing some of the filming for this piece. Produced, Directed, Shot and Cut by Ben Aylsworth, Lisa Fender, Tareq, Mustafa, Ahmed and Muhammed.
