Back in February 2015 I was asked to film a Wet’suwet’en potlatch in Moricetown. What I shot was part of a project that features First Nations’ battle against gas and oil pipeline development on their traditional territories. Here’s a short trailer featured in the UK’s Guardian newspaper. Click on the photo to watch the trailer.

Last month I had the honour to set foot in one of the most pristine wildernesses on the planet. The Sacred Headwaters, where the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers begin, is teaming with life far beyond that of the civilized world. Long before humans came to this land to drill gas wells and chip away at mountains in the hopes of acquiring riches from their minerals, great creatures such as Caribou, Elk, Eagles, Moose, Wolves, Salmon and Grizzly roamed the alpine […]

On the backside of Hudson Bay Mountain, you will see alpine meadows of the utmost beauty… Only if you know how to find them, however. The Silvern Lakes Trail is a perfect way to track a few down.

But, those who have braved the road north know there is much more to see in the Great White North. Whitehorse is one of these places. Whitehorse, traditionally, was a jump off point for those headed into the klondike to find gold, wild beast and riches. Some […]
