When a community of people who love the ocean get together to stand up for our values and home, magic happens. Thank you to the 100+ west coasters who came out, braved the rain, and showed us your water love standing with us on the National Day of Climate Action. The Kinder Morgan pipeline will not be built because of people like you.

In June, Clayoquot Sound was faced with a toxic algal bloom. These are made much worse by nutrient loading from salmon farm sewage. It’s time to remove salmon farms from the coastal waters of British Columbia. You can help! Please send a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today. http://clayoquotaction.org/letter/get-salmon-farms-out/

On Wednesday, July 22nd, transient orca T069A2 was found stranded on the rocks in Squally Channel, British Columbia. While I was on assignment with Cetacea Lab, the team went out to see if they could rescue her. The footage gathered at the scene was so rare that the story went viral in hours.

To ensure that Cetacea Lab was able to tell their own story in their own words, I put this video together in five hours. It was posted the next morning, boasting over 244,000 views and counting. Timing is everything.

Behind the Scenes video of the 2017 Kamloops Fire Fighters Calendar. Stories come in all shapes and sizes, and though a large majority of the ones I tell have a certain natural element, I couldn't resist helping the Kamloops Fire Fighters Charitable Society tell the story of their 2017 Calendar.

Waterlution's Great Waters Challenge is an online participative game for Canadian youth to uncover water stories in their communities and share with a broader audience. The Great Waters Challenge is designed to showcase the deep connection that lies between our water and our identity as Canadians—from indigenous traditional knowledge to western practices.

Throughout the game, we will look for ways to celebrate our great waters leading up to Canada’s 150th anniversary on July 1, 2017. By discovering many stories about our water’s past, we can better understand how it will influence our future.

Film, the moving image, moves with you. Your emotions evolve, your impressions develop and grow. It's alive and breathing and immersive. The sound of the water surrounds you with the sea. Music guides your mood. The characters become companions. It all works to take you on a journey to communicate to you through story.

Video is a valuable tool for you to develop relationships with your audiences. Especially for individuals, communities, and organizations. Your mission is to gather support for your cause, to connect people to your purpose, and make your story a part of their story.

Feeling is a universal language. And at the end of the day, it is the driving force behind my multimedia projects.
