Born in Mississauga, I'm a writer, creator, and novelist. Best known for co-writing 40 Acres with R.T. Thorne. The film premiered at TIFF 2024 and was widely praised by critics, including The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Playback. It's theatrical release is set for July 4, 2025.
The Book of Lost Innocence marks my debut as an author—the first of many works to come. My mind is constantly alive with ideas, each one demanding to be shaped into a story. It is my hope to bring as many of these worlds and tales to life as possible—on the page, in print, and eventually on screen—within my lifetime.

About 40 Acres
40 Acres is the film directing debut of R.T. Thorne. The screenplay was co-written by Glenn Taylor and R.T. Thorne.
After a series of plagues and wars leaves society in ruins, the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on a farm in the middle of nowhere... so long as they repel the occasional raiding party. Former soldier Hailey (Danielle Deadwyler) and her partner Galen (Michael Greyeyes) fled the collapse along with their children, training them to fight (and, yes, kill). But now Hailey’s eldest Emanuel (Kataem O’Connor) is a young man, and when he meets a young woman (Milcania Diaz-Rojas) in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy.
