save the great bear rainforest

<p><strong>About Cameron:</strong></p> <p>I have always been interested in film and how it can be used as a vehicle for change, education, and awareness. I have been involved in the entertainment industry for twenty years and most recently I have dedicated the last four years to learning the craft of filmmaking, editing, producing, and sound production.</p> <p>In addition to loving films my other passion is having adventures in the outdoors. I have hiked the West Coast Trail and the North Coast Trail and been affected by the beauty there. I have decided to live in a wild and remote community because being immersed in nature is my biggest inspiration - both for my art and my life.</p> <p>My most recent adventures in nature have taken me to the Great Bear Rainforest - an area which extends from the tip of Vancouver Island all the way to Alaska. It is hard to put into words how beautiful this place truly is - so it is fortunate for me, that I am lucky enough to make a movie about this magnificient place and have the opportunity to protect it.</p> <p>I am grateful to the Raincoast Conservation Foundation for the opportunity to be part of this incredible, nation-wide effort to protect the Great Bear Rainforest.</p> <p><strong>About Kim:</strong></p> <p>William S. Burroughs said that, "artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact." I love being part of this change-making adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing these incredible visual artists and sculptors create art from the most beautiful landscape in the world (The Great Bear Rainforest). It was inspiring and, as Burroughs puts it - it was revolutionary to be part of this expedition. I recognize that this project is just one of many projects attempting to protect this stretch of intact and incredibly biodiverse rainforest, however, I think that this project is so unique from an art history perspective as well as a Canadian politics perspective. To have 50 of British Columbia's most accomplished artists - Robert Bateman, Roy Henry Vickers, Carol Evans, (to name a few) join together on this expedition marks the beginning of an artistic and environmental legacy. As Brian Falconer, Achiever Captain, says, "this expedition could potentially mark a time in history that was the turning point for the resistance against the Enbridge proposal." That is all of our hopes, at least.</p> <p>In addition to filmmaking I also work as the executive director of the Tofino Film Festival Society and as a programming coordinator for the Raincoast Education Society here in Tofino. The Raincoast Education Society's mission is all about working with kids to inspire environmental sustainability and stewardship. I am grateful to be working on a film project right now that so clearly emulates my personal and professional values.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
