I'm living in Igloolik, Nunavut working with Zach and the Isuma team on a bunch of interesting projects. I'm a filmmaker and community planner who got into video in Vancouver about 10 years ago. After gradate school at UBC I started up a production company called Ear to the Ground Planning and spent a number of years in Vancouver and Squamish before moving up here with my wife and young daughter. If you want to know more about what we're up to in Igloolik, send me a message.See more
