Creating the Career of Your Dreams

Over the past couple of years I’ve been working on a project with film maker Louise Abbott for the Cree Outfitting and Tourism Organisation (COTA). They needed a video showcasing the opportunities that exist now and in future for Cree youth to work in tourism.

Multiple shoots in winter and summer in the Quebec’s north, in Cree communities such as Chisasibi, Mistissini, East Main, Oujé-Bougamou and in Montreal, Ontario, etc. in challenging conditions. It was a real adventure. I was the main cameraman and worked on the final edit as well.

We met so many friendly and welcoming people.

At the moment, it’s difficult, but at least I can enjoy it as a hobby for a while. Here’s a video I did while up north for a recent trip to Oujé-Bougoumou and Eastmain:
