Michael Dowse

Michael Dowse (born April 19, 1973) is a Canadian film director.

Life and career

Born in London, Ontario, to Irish parents, and raised in Calgary, Alberta, he was trained as a film editor. His first full-length movie, FUBAR was shot on a digital camera with a tiny budget, but was selected by the Sundance Film Festival and screened on the prestigious midnight slot, which had launched the revolutionary film The Blair Witch Project. Though it failed to get picked up by any major American theatrical distributors, FUBAR subsequently became a cult hit in Canada. Following the success of FUBAR, Dowse went on to direct the higher-budget British film It's All Gone Pete Tong, the story of a deaf DJ in Ibiza.

Dowse's next production, the 1980s retro comedy Take Me Home Tonight, started shooting in Phoenix, Arizona on the week beginning 19 February 2007 and was released to theaters on March 4, 2011.

Dowse is an alumnus of the University of Calgary's television program, NUTV.

He currently resides in Montreal with his wife and child.

We've Only Just Begun (ft. Ester Dean)

by: Michael Woods

What are you waiting on, what are you waiting for?
It's time to take me home, I'll meet you at the door
And it's okay, if you are, a little shy tonight
Just hold on, I got you
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We've only just begun, we've only just begun
We've only just begun
Let's have a little fun,
We've only just begun, we've only just begun
We've only just begun
Let's have a little fun, tonight
Whoa, whoa
Here's where you place your hands
Right here on my thighs
Here's where you place your lips
And let out the love inside
And it's okay, if you are, a little shy tonight
Just hold on, I got you
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We've only just begun, we've only just begun
We've only just begun
Let's have a little fun,
We've only just begun, we've only just begun
We've only just begun
Let's have a little fun, tonight
