Sayachapis
Named "52" during ten years, Sayachapis now lives alone on Indian Island, a small islan off grid off the coast of Vancouver. A residential school survivor, he remembers vividly the hard labor, starvation, rape, broken bones and unimaginable horrors from the years gone by.
"I am still alive, I am still Ok."
-Sayachapis

The ITs OK Project
It's about focusing on the positive state of mind because it can be so easy to get lost and let the negative energy take over. It's about taking the courage to stand up for our values. Because sometimes it's not ok and we need to speak about it. It's about feeling. It's about learning from our mistakes. It's about being human. It's about making this world a better place in our own way. It's about doing what feels right. It's about going for our dreams no matter what people say. It's about trying to be an example for ourselves and for others. It's about allowing ourselves to be whom we truly are. It's about you. It's about me. It's about us. Because we are all connected in some way or another! We all have our own story and life struggles! But we are not alone! And sometime's we just need a reminder that ITs Ok!
Défi final Montréal New-york
The Montreal New York City final challenge is fast approaching! Each participant, following several months of intense training, will run from Montreal to New York City. The physical training allows them to increase their muscle mass so as to get their bodies used to the impacts of running, while the mental preparation helps them evolve as a team and teaches them to react positively when outside of their comfort zone. Conferences on nutrition, communication in stressful situations, and the various models of individual leadership supplement the training. The first and last ten kilometers are run together, to make for both a triumphant and moving finish at the heart of Manhattan.
The forbidden night
While my studies in Rivière-Du-Loup, I was asked to film a special event. The forbidden night is a full night that artists from every field are welcome to create as they wish. This little piece wants to promote the beauties of art. Let's create a world that we feel right.
Dangerous fruit
The dangerous fruit was a challenge to represent the seven deadly sins in one night. We made the concept, filmed and edited in one night. Great experience with awsome people.
My insanity
While I was editing Sayachapis, I had over loaded myself with bad vibes. If you haven't seen the movie, you can't understand. Anyway, I found an artistic way to reset my energy. Through the movie my crazyness, I have express may anger, my issues and my desire to feel better. After shaving my hair to get ride of the weight of the sick society, I felt much lighter and ready to go through meditation. I was able to heal myself with an artistic way. Sometimes words aren't enough to say how you feel, so find our way of expression is important. « There is so much wars in this world, but also so much love! »
