Watch Saanich: Emerging Land: Emerging People TV Series
I’m super happy to announce that I finished making my Saanich: Emerging Land; Emerging People TV series!
Oh my goodness! I’ve been on quite a creative journey in 2022!
I’ve been hiking, filming, directing, writing, producing, editing, creating and talking my way across the Southern-most tip of Vancouver Island and it has been a blast!
It was a dream come true for me to explore my own island and touch on the mystical and spiritual side of nature and turn my vision into a work of art.
When you watch the series, you’ll see examples of geological marvels, historic architecture and lots of wildlife and will get a sense of who I am and where I live.
You’ll also hear me read from my forthcoming novel, Closer to Indigo, which inspired these locations.
It’s been my joy to create this TV series and I hope you get a chance to watch it in order, from beginning to end!
