I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.
There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

Check out these public #FilmScreenings if you're interested in watching more #NativeFilms & you can meet the producers at the screenings too.
