Wilderness Orientation is so much more than an introduction to Prescott College. Students embark on a journey of community building, interpersonal skills, critical history, connection to place, backcountry skills, leadership, and deep personal reflection. Orientation will change your life.
Water in the West is an iconic Environmental Studies course at Prescott College that embraces an interdisciplinary and experiential approach. Students learn about the natural history of water in the West, water politics, social justice, conservation, Indigenous views of water, and more. After a tour of Hoover Dam and a canoeing trip in the canyon, the class wraps up by building strategies for a sustainable watered future.
Unable to ski this winter due to ankle surgery, I found myself noticing the flowing, ever-changing movement of the fog that often surrounds Quest University. Using my drone, I captured this ethereal beauty and transformed it into an otherworldly landscape, playing with basic image masking to create the impression that gravity does not exist in this realm, much like how I imagine the fog itself experiences things. This video reminds me to live slowly and notice nature’s always changing dance around us.
This short film adaptation of Moneyball (2011) was created for a film and literature class at Quest University Canada. The idea behind it was to tie together the integral pieces of Billy Bean's story, both his past and his present, in a 5 minute piece using flashbacks.
Adventures in the mountains and waters of Vancouver Island told through drone shots.
Often when we visit special ecological areas our observations are restricted to a limited view. In this documentary, six diverse ecological reserves across Vancouver Island are explored with the goal of revealing some of their special features and hearing from their volunteer wardens. Shot on a drone and a macro lens to show unique perspectives, I created this documentary in collaboration with BC Parks and the Friends of Ecological Reserves to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ecological Reserves Act in Canada.
