I can’t believe we did it!⁣ ⁣ Thank you to every single person who helped bring this project to life. I am speechless at the incredible amount of hard work and dedication that each and every single one of you put into the project. ⁣ ⁣ Actors: Thank you for putting up with my ridiculously specific requests to learn the lyrics to certain songs, choreographing dance sequences, long hours and memorizing a family tree of 35+ cast members. The youngest member of our cast was only 6 months old and the oldest was 86!⁣ ⁣ Crew: I witnessed each and every single one of you bend over backwards for this film and I’ll never forget that. Your respect for the location, your sensitivity around the subject matter, and your patience when the days ran over schedule has not gone unnoticed. You are all stars, and if I had to do it again, I’d choose you all over again. ⁣ ⁣ Vendors: Thank you so much for all your help — it made this project what it is. If it hadn’t been for your openness to work with the financial limitations of an independent film, we wouldn’t be here today. @simcamera @wfw_intl @karigur1 @royalambassador.eventcentre @sapphire_hut ⁣@mehndi_holistics ⁣ And finally, I know that many of the people who took part in this project have struggled with generational trauma of their own. I am so touched to hear your many different stories of struggle and triumph. I hope this experience was everything you hoped it would be ❤️⁣ ⁣ What an incredible feeling to see your vision come to life. On to the edit! ✨

I’m super excited to finally be servicing lenses in my new workshop in Salmo. It’s still not totally finished, but it’s good enough start fixing lenses! Huge thanks to @simcomplete @lornelapham and @fusioncine for trusting me me with your lenses and being my first three customers. #lenstech #lensrepair #cinelens #salmocine

Thank you to the #newyorkinternationalwomenfestival for thinking we’re funny! . #bcfilm #femakefilmmakers #bipocfilmmakers #asianfilmmakers #representationmatters #wytch #witches #magicisbrewing

Time has been elusive. Words about weeks past since it’s not everyday a film you make receives 5 CSA Awards. Still, I am moved and inspired by the Akilla's Escape team. Still so proud. Still thankful @thecdnacademy for the honourable recognition. I believe that is what most creatives hope for. The things we make reaches someone, somewhere… : #akillasescape #canadianacademy

This should be #cinegearexpo weekend, I’m missing all the great conversations with old friends and meeting new one. Oh and all the cool gear too!

Happy #femalefilmmakerfriday everyone! I’m super excited to have @_wytchcraftfilm_ reach an epic 30+ #filmfestival selections with its #finalist status at the #newyorkinternationalwomenfestival. . And for @slumpthemovie to have been #officiallyselected for its first film festival, the @tinffestival competing against my other short funnily enough! . Thanks as always to the #castandcrew of both these special shorts! #bcfilm #femalefilmmakers #bipocfiommakers #asianfilmmakers #wytchcraft #slump #shortfilms #magicisbrewing
