Horse Woman Short film

Project Management, for us, can also include film producing.

We have a desire to tell stories that inspire people to connect and show respect to the land.
This 32 minute short documentary follows a young Syilx woman, Sienna Belanger-Lee and her mother Mariel Belanger as they contend with the historic White Rock Lake wildfire in the Okanagan in 2021 and Sienna saves some wild horses from the impending danger. This is also a story of the loss and rediscovery of purpose, the healing between mother and daughter and the heart connection between humans and animals.
