| Experiencing Stories Producer & Director | BADMAL Productions, Inc. | Forthcoming Storytelling is vital to preserving and revitalizing indigenous knowledge and heritage. Stories have the power to remind our people and to enlighten others about who we are. We must remember that the way that stories are told is just as important as the content of the stories themselves. Experiencing Stories is an experimental documentary featuring four indigenous storytellers—an elder, cultural preserver, professional storyteller, and new media storyteller—who share their perspectives on traditional oral storytelling. |

| Extraction Producer | BADMAL Productions, Inc. | Forthcoming Northern Alberta’s tar sands reach far into the boreal forest, where ceaseless oil extraction leaves yellow-gray pits in the once unstained land. The process destroys water and soil, plants and animals, and indigenous ways of life. The Beaver Lake Cree Nation is trying to limit the damage by suing the Alberta provincial and Canadian federal governments for treaty infringement. At the same time, high-paying, easy-money jobs are causing Beaver Lake youth to drop out of school to go to work for the very same oil companies that threaten their Nation’s traditions. The experimental long documentary Extraction explores the trade-offs that face the Beaver Lake Cree as they balance the pressure to preserve culture against the allure of economic survival. |
