Director’s note:

I hope this film provides some ideas for how small scale travel businesses can market themselves, not just through flashy images, but by showcasing the story and passion behind the work they do.

Synopsis:

From the thrill of initial contact with an apex predator, to the serenity of babysitting bear cubs, Walking with Grizzlies follows bear-guides as they pursue close encounters with BC’s coastal grizzly bears. Venturing deep into remote river systems, pristine estuaries and silent forests, we follow bear-guides and explore what drives people to follow in the footsteps of giants.

The Making of:

In 2019, I set out with the goal of making a feature-length documentary following bear viewing guides and exploring the relationships that they build with grizzlies. I spent a few days at Farewell Harbour Lodge in the Broughton Archipelago and Great Bear Lodge on the Nekite River in Smith Inlet. When I was unable to acquire funding to make a longer form documentary, I decided to edit together this short film.

In 2015, I began filming a documentary on at-risk members of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside community who found self-worth through urban beekeeping & gardening. Eastside Unfiltered, explores how green respite serves as a sanctuary in the centre of chaos. 

This documentary was made as a tribute to the incredible people I met in the DTES, and has since been incorporated into the curriculum of a number of high schools and universities across Canada.

Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter

Fostering Lasting Partnerships

At True Coast Films we want to build long lasting relationships with our clients, and our partnership with the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter is a perfect example of that. We’ve been working with NLWS since 2016, when Nick Quenville began filming the TV show Wild Bear Rescue for Animal Planet. The series was produced by Omnifilm Entertainment and ran for three seasons and was able to greatly impact their ability to connect with new donors. Following the production of this series, Nick has continued working with NLWS, trying to create new ways for the shelter to continue growing their donor-community .

Through our enduring partnership, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing the shelter’s unwavering commitment to wildlife rehabilitation. We are humbled to bring our expertise to the table, helping other organizations realize the benefits of documentary, allowing us to shine a spotlight on your vital work. We look forward to forging a lasting partnership with your organization, like we’ve done with NLWS and other organizations.
