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.
