I traveled to Bella Coola, B.C. to shoot "Kelly Robinson - 4D Carver- Bringing it Back Home". While there, I met many of Kelly's family, friends and colleagues. Ideas starting flowing and several projects ensued. There is some exciting work coming soon!

Kelly Robinson - 4D Carver - Bringing it back home

With help from the ImagiNATIVE film festival, APTN and the Canada Council for the Arts, I traveled to Bella Coola, B.C. to document an important transformation my friend Kelly Robinson - a wonderful Nuxalk carver - was making. He was transforming from a 3 dimensional carver to a 4 dimensional carver. He did this to better balance his spiritual and economic selves. According to his people's customs, he carved and gifted a grizzly bear and a raven mask to his people in a touching ceremony I recorded in vivid detail.
