Visual Researcher
My work as a visual researcher for documentary filmmaking involves engaging with public and private archives to find photographs, films, videos and audio to help reconstruct an overlooked part of history: communities under/misrepresented, forgotten stories, and documented injustice, all buried deep within the archives.
Examples of areas of research I have worked with in the past:
Visual of queer community and organizations in Vancouver 1970s-1980s-1990s
Visual of the Chinese Canadian Community history in BC (Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Richmond)
Visual of Indigenous communities, Japanese Canadian, Chinese Canadian and Sikh in Richmond and Steveston.
Visual of constructions of the Nechako Dam in the Nechako-Bulkley region.
