Impact Created by :

I worked with a team of 3 people to create an impact-driven short film called "Salmon Parks". The film explored the restoration efforts of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht and Nuchatlaht First Nations to recover key watersheds and restore wild salmon on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The film premiered at the BC Culture Days in collaboration with Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - British Columbia (CPAWS-BC) and received 228 attendees. The film aimed to educate, raise awareness and ultimately secure the establishment of Salmon Parks as a matter of Nuu-chah-nulth law, with recognition by federal and provincial governments. This event connected First Nations communities, storytellers, activists, policymakers and environmental campaigners from British Columbia accompanied by a moderated panel session. The film had three additional screenings after its premiere at Conference of Parties (COP26) as well as two First Nation festivals.
