digital storytelling

2005-2009

in 2005 i became a mentor for some of the national film board's new community storytelling initiatives.              i learned about digital storytelling - short form filmmaking using recorded voice and still photographs. 

i began to work within communities helping folks tell their personal stories.                                                                                                                                                                             

*we took inspiration from Capture Wales out of the UK 

as well as The Center for Digital Storytelling out of Berkley CA USA

i fell in love with helping people tell their stories

Tales from Bridgeview - 2005

we worked with the director Nettie Wild  helping students tell their stories

I got to work with Danel on a story about his hamster!

we learned to listen to how the students wanted to tell their story

it was so fun to help these young people have a voice

Tales from Bridgeview II - 2006

we were welcomed back to this small community in Surrey BC!

this time I got to help Iaric tell a story about his cat!

a celebration screening was again held in the gym

these workshops were so fun!

Life Stories - 2006

we worked with seniors in 2 different community centres in Vancouver

Don White was the director of the project

I helped Nina tell her story of being confronted by a  moose!

I also helped Ron tell his story of immigration

Playing it Safe - 2009

Partnering with YouthCO in Vancouver and Edmonton filmmaker Terri Wynnyk to help at-risk youth tell their stories

Lulu was a hard worker and generous storyteller

Lulu has since passed away, I feel lucky to have spent time with her

it is a gift to help someone find their voice 

behind the scenes
