New Film Release 🎬: The Arctic Edge – Navigating change in the Arctic waters of Greenland The ocean is the very source of life, culture, and history here in Greenland. As climate change transforms our waters right before our eyes, we face a pivotal question: How do we sustain our livelihoods while protecting the marine ecosystems that support us? To explore these urgent challenges and celebrate Inuit stewardship, Oceans North Kalaallit Nunaat is proud to present a new film produced by @bbcstoryworks and the @moorefound. True marine management must be built in close collaboration with our local communities. This film highlights why safeguarding our waters is fundamentally about securing a stable, thriving future for our children and generations to come 🌊 Watch the full film on YouTube (Link in bio): https://youtu.be/bOPm4t2pTwA #TheArcticEdge #BBCStoryWorks #InuitStewardship #KalaallitNunaat #ArcticOcean

COMMUNITY LOVE💌 Soiul was never meant to be just a place for sauna and cold plunges. It was created to be a space where people gather, slow down, celebrate, connect, and feel a little more at home in themselves and with each other. Seeing your photos, your memories, and the moments you’ve shared here reminds us why we built this place in the first place. Thank you for making Soiul more than a wellness space. Thank you for making it a community.

Little road trip to Nelson. Our collective bestie left the Jackson St. compound a few months ago, and we've missed him dearly 🤎 Some moments of our week with Finny.

Co-Directors Carter Kirilenko and Adam Combs take us inside the making of Silent Sanctuary, a film following marine scientists studying disappearing kelp forests off Hornby Island in British Columbia. In this Filmmaking Unlocked feature, Carter and Adam share the behind-the-scenes reality of documenting a live scientific study: the uncertainty, the challenges, what went wrong, and the lessons they learned along the way. Head to the link in our bio to watch the full film on Youtube. 🌊🎥

Last year, we followed a team of marine scientists into the waters off Hornby Island, British Columbia, where kelp forests that once defined the coastline are quietly vanishing. 🍿Silent Sanctuary is now streaming free on YouTube. Watch the full film at the link in our bio. Silent Sanctuary follows the journey of Dr. Lauren Dykman and her team as they embark on a visionary study to restore kelp forests at scale amidst a rapidly warming ocean. If successful, their research could pave the way for restoration efforts across Canada and around the world. Thank you to every artist and collaborator who helped to bring this film to life.

New film out today for the @iucn_official Living Legacy series. Recently, I travelled to Greenland on assignment with @bbcstoryworks & @adamcombs to direct a film exploring how communities are navigating the impacts of climate change in the Arctic Ocean. Watch the full film through the link in my bio. When we first arrived in Greenland, I remember looking out and seeing icebergs in the distance towering over the small village of Ilulissat—ice that holds hundreds of thousands of years of history. Within it are stories of a people whose identity, culture, and livelihood have long been shaped by this landscape. As ice patterns shift, the people here are being forced to adapt and find new ways to keep their culture alive. The Arctic Edge reveals this effort and how traditional knowledge continues to guide the decisions shaping the region’s future.

In the US and Canada, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. 1 in 15 homes in the US have radon levels that are considered too high (4 pCi/L or above, as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's recommendations. Earlier this year, Airthings' Joakim Lindh met inspirational radon awareness advocate, Judith Spence. Here, Judith shares her story of how, after borrowing an Airthings device from her daughter, she discovered that her dream home in the countryside was harboring dangerously high levels of radon. 🏡 Every home should measure radon. @bbcstoryworks #radon #radonawareness #wellness #health #breathebetter

A late 2025 wrapped 💥 Thank you to everyone who made last year such a special one. The projects I was involved in this year took me to 10 different countries. It was messy at times. burnout, missed flights, sleepless nights that forced me to slow down and rest. At the same time I consistently found myself in conversations with people that challenged my way of thinking, birthed new ideas, and inspired me to keep going. This year reminded me that stillness fuels creativity. In a world that constantly rewards doing more, stillness can feel counterintuitive but it was often in periods where I prioritized rest that I had the most clarity. The projects I am most proud of came from collaboration with artists and clients who are working to build a wilder world . This took me from the South Pacific, to the Arctic Circle, and reminded me why I started making films in the first place. A few memorable notes: 🌊 Joined a humpback whale research expedition in Tonga with @10percentfortheocean and @arksenexpeditions. edited a film about the experience with support from @oceanculturelife 🤿 Started to sharpen my skills in underwater filmmaking 🎬 - travelled to Nunavik to conduct interviews that helped inform a management plan for Beluga whales in the arctic 🫧 Continued growing my freediving practice. found a community of creatives that share my excitement for the ocean. 🐘Reached final edit stages on a documentary about one of the last wildernesses in southern Congo Directed and produced three films for @bbcstoryworks, including one in Greenland exploring how climate change is reshaping traditional ways of life 🌱Our kelp doc toured to some exciting venues including @bloomberggreen 🌲 Worked with the Mowachaht Muchalaht First Nation to tell a story about preserving culture, language, and land 🏃‍♂️ Ran a 450 km relay across Europe for fun 2026 what you got?
