their homelands to start a new life on the Sunshine Coast of Canada in Tla’Amin

her daughter Alma while continuing to develop an art practice in film, video and installation.

production company, EnMedia for her fiction films and since then has expanded it to produce
and direct diverse projects in film, visual design, media education and installation.
