Which ’hood are you in?
Born in Calgary and raised on the Rez, the Tsuut’ina (Sarcee Reserve) Nation.
What do you do?
In this day and age in film and television, it’s really what can you do, like everyone else trying to make something of their career, you have to act, write, direct, produce, even. I’m a filmmaker who has to do it all to get closer to the finish line, which is actually the start.
What are you currently working on?
You’re working on projects you’ve been dreaming about working on. You’re always working, but it’s not always paid work. I’m working on my own independent features, a Horror/RomCom and a documentary about one of the greatest Canadian filmmakers. Reviewing my music and seeing if there’s anything there, maybe an album. I’m auditioning for roles weekly as an actor and getting equestrian riding classes specifically for actors’ resumes up and running.
Where can we find your work?
Currently on APTN! I’m proud to say I have directed an episode or two of the hit television series Horse Warriors, and you can catch season two now. Keep an eye out for my feature film related this February 2026, the mystic said these are my years, and I am in agreement.
