Hey everyone! I’m looking to see if there are people around Durham Region who would be interested in starting a small, collaborative short-film/media group.

The idea is pretty simple: a group where everyone helps everyone.

The goal would be to:

• 🎬 Bring our own scripts and ideas to life as a team
• 🎭 Help each other improve our acting and performance
• ✍️ Workshop and improve each other’s scripts
• 📹 Learn filmmaking, cinematography, editing, lighting, sound, etc. together
• 🎥 Make short films/skits regularly and actually finish them
• 🌟 Give everyone opportunities to act, direct, write, film, edit, or whatever they’re interested in
• 🤝 Build each other up rather than compete with each other

I’d also like the group to have shared access to the social media/accounts and content, so nobody ever feels like “I’m just being used as a free actor for someone else’s project.”

If you write a script, we all work together to make it.

If someone wants to try directing, we give them a chance.

If someone wants to act but has never done it before, we help them improve.

Basically, everyone gets their turn.

I’m not looking for experienced actors or filmmakers. Honestly, I think it would be more fun if we’re all learning and improving together.

Genre-wise, I’m personally really interested in horror, suspense, comedy, and thriller, but I’m open to pretty much anything.

Ideally this would be people around Durham Region / Oshawa / Whitby / Bowmanville / Clarington, but I’m open to anyone nearby who’s willing to participate.

If this sounds interesting, comment or DM me. Even if you’re just curious, feel free to reach out. Maybe we can actually build something pretty cool together. 🎬

Need to rent 2 ladders to do some potlights at my place . I have a vaulted ceiling that’s about 16-18 foot ceiling. Home Depot has some 14 foot ladders but not a van or truck big enough to transport it.
Might have to rent a 20 foot u haul truck just to transport these massive ladders.
Does this seem reasonable to do?
Is there a better option?
I checked some ladder rentals companies that do deliveries and they quote me over $400 to rent over the weekend .

Exactly as title mentions
Preferably oshawa, just for myself under 400k to keep my sanity while paying mortgage.
Advice, tricks, tips, recommendations and suggestions.

Hi everyone! We’re trying to choose a daycare for our 20-month-old son and are considering:
• Helping Hands Daycare in Pickering
• Schoolhouse Playcare at Lincoln Alexander in Ajax
If your child currently attends—or recently attended—either location, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. We need to decide by evening!

Hello all,

I've recently bought myself a 2014 BMW 550I and I'm looking to get some work done (it's started having trouble starting up, most likely needs a new alternator).

Any places that would do work to the car if I supply the parts? Or any independent shop that you take your BMWs to that have cheaper labour rates would be great. I'm in my 20s so can't afford the dealer rates... Thank you in advance!

Hello. Can anyone recommend a good treadmill repair service. I’ve been trying to get hold of someone in the region with not much luck. Thank you!

Anyone eating at the mandarin soon with their friends or family? I got a birthday coupon where I can eat at the Mandarin for free if I’m with 3 others who are paying. Can I tag along so I can use my birthday coupon? I don’t know too many people in Canada yet and I’m struggling right now so this would cheer me up a lot. We don’t have to talk if you don’t want the company, I just want to eat with my coupon.

My birthday is coming up and I have been craving Chicken Marsala. Please send me recommendations for a restaurant you think serves the best.

Anyone know a pharmacy that regularly has generic GLP-1s available and in stock in Durham or surrounding areas? I tried a few pharmacies and they told me it was on back order. Someone told me Costco is good for it but the pharmacy isn't answering the phone so just wondering if that's true or not. Thanks!

It’s last minute but looking for a place in Durham Region that sells a good quality corn hole set.

The fire broke out at 74 Wellington Avenue East, near Simcoe Street South and Wentworth Street West, around 6 a.m. Monday

I know along Taunton, closer to Markham/Scarborough border there are fruit trucks, but anyone see these in Durham between Pickering and Whitby? Looking specifically to get a good price on ataulfo mangoes. Local Asian grocery store has them for $20/case.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a good place to buy winter tires and rims for my Toyota.

Tire size: 225/50R18

I’m in Durham Region, but I’m willing to drive anywhere in the GTA if the price is worth it.

I’m looking for something affordable but still good quality and reliable for Ontario winters. I’m open to either a brand new package or a good used set.

Any recommendations for shops with good prices on tires + rims as a package? Also if you recently bought a set, how much did you pay?

Thanks!
