What Clients Are Saying
“Patrick brought great skill and sensitivity to an important storytelling video project, giving a voice to Nuxalk community members in Bella Coola. He created a beautiful, compelling, first person narrative on the value of community-based training, and visually demonstrates the challenges for this remote area. He was wonderful to work with, and I hope we get the opportunity to work together again.”
