I grew up on a small bison farm in Northern Alberta, which has been a significant influence on my work as a filmmaker. My work is rooted in a deep appreciation for the natural world, and I’m inspired by the complex relationships between people and their environment. The importance of sustainable farming practices has been ingrained in me from a young age, and I’m passionate about exploring the ways in which we can create a more sustainable and equitable future.

In my academic and professional trajectory, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in film, clinching the prestigious BMO 1st National Art Award in 2021 for my documentary “Father Like Son.” This transformative experience propelled me to extend my storytelling prowess. Notably, my work has reached broader audiences through exhibitions at the University of Toronto Art Gallery and various international film festivals. “Father Like Son” also achieved recognition as a top-three contender for the Lindalee Tracey Award at Hot Docs 2022. Furthermore, I’ve engaged in collaborations with programs such as Nature of Things, multiple CBC productions including Push and Frick I Love Nature, as well as numerous documentary projects that resonate with my commitment to create meaningful work.This has further enriched my exploration of captivating narratives.

I was accepted to join Hot Docs at the Camden International Film Festival, where my project, Women Who Dig Documentary, was accepted for learning the art of pitching and networking with industry professionals. This experience has been invaluable in understanding the intricacies of the documentary filmmaking industry. It not only allows me to further explore the complex interplay of human experiences and environmental connections but also facilitates the sharing of my project and the insights gained from industry experts. This opportunity reinforces my dedication to raising awareness and instigating positive change. Recognizing the profound interconnectedness between our actions and the planet, I aspire, through my films, to inspire others to contribute to a more sustainable and just world.

Who Dig

New Documentary work – Hitting Festivals 2024

Farming, feminism and the fight to feed the world. Women Who Dig showcases Canadian women on a journey to combat food insecurity and the industrial farm system by utilizing traditional farming techniques rooted in ancestral history.The small family farm is often perceived to be an occupation of the past that is being overtaken by large-scale industrial farming practices. This wreaks havoc on our global climate, all the while creating a GMO monoculture that contributes to a great loss of our planets biodiversity. This documentary will tell a lesser-told story, of women farmers pushing back against industrial practices and; in doing so, combating global concerns of how we understand food and our environment. All across Western Canada in rural and urban centres, women are sowing the seeds for a better tomorrow.
