Hello my name is Maurice Asselin born and raised in St. Boniface Manitoba Canada. The French Quarter is on the East side of the river from Winnipeg across the Esplanade Louis Riel. Formally the Provencher Bridge
My career as a freelance Photojournalist started in 1974 I worked for many Daily and Weekly Newspapers. I was fortunate to have had many credits and bylines for photos and stories published over the years. Many of my photos were hung for display in local contest. In November of 1974 I opened a Photo Studio under the name of L'image photography.
Earlier in my career I got involved with Cable Television and produced a local talk show "The way it is" However this was short lived! I worked on a few local TV commercials. In the late seventies I produced Big Daddy's Rock and Roll Show. I played in local bars in Winnipeg also traveled across the Province. Over the years I tried many other ways to earn a living until my retirement in 1999. In 2001 I auditioned to work as a movie extra for a local made for TV movie. I worked on many sets as an extra until my latest Gig in 2006.
I'm presently waiting to hear from castings directors for my next Gig, in the mean time I'm working on my web site.
