Some photos from the making of MANHUNT, which we shot in the summer of 2024, just after I defended my PhD, with additional photography the following summer.

Two summers, a lot of driving, and a lot of time spent in the woods with some very talented and committed people.

After premiering in International Competition at @filmfestlocarno this August, the film is finally coming home to Vancouver, before heading east to Montréal.

I shot my first feature two summers ago in British Colombia. Tomorrow, some very exciting news will be made in regard to where you can watch it! With only a few people making up the entire cast and crew, we all became the closest of friends when we set out on the most incredible road trip I’ve ever been on to make it. I’m excited to share more with you tomorrow about our film, but today I hope you can enjoy some pictures I took along the way.

I’ve never put more of myself into a project, I can’t wait for you to watch it 🫂
