Coffee Chats is a series of virtual casual gatherings with the CEAD team with industry guests. Hosted virtually in small intimate groups, these gatherings will provide a space for group conversations with practitioners who are interested in supporting OCAD U students and grads to offer mentorship, and share their professional insights and journey, while collectively creating an online community.

He has also screened his work worldwide at places like Raindance London, the theatres (Space Jam 2), and even inside the Air Jordan Store in Toronto.
