Actor and recording artist Tom Jackson has just returned from Hollywood. He wasn't adding another film to his long list of accomplishments. He was actually trying to rope in several production ideas all at once for his own movie studio.

Jackson went to 11 major film studios in California trying to find support for his own soon-to-be-constructed studio in Calgary.

"It's definitely happening," said Jackson. "The only thing left before we put the spades in the ground is to dot the 'i's' and cross the 't's.'"

The latest album for Native recording artist Tom Jackson is literally designed to be food for thought.

That Side of the Window is an album about homeless people and all proceeds from the album are going to the Canadian Association of Food Banks.

"It was going to be purely a commercial ventrue for me, but I spoke to my wife and realized I didn't feel comfortable doing this as a commercial venture," said Jackson.

Part of Jackson's decision to donate the proceeds from the album come from his own past.
