Press Coverage

From 2012 to 2014 The Little Mountain FILM Project gathered considerable press for two events.

  1.  The Final Attempted Evictions of the last tenants in 2012.  I hastily edited a number of short films drawn from raw footage (recorded from 2008 – 2012) and screened them across Vancouver to support the effort to defeat BC Housing.  We won.
  2. The Crowdfunding Campaign I ran in 2014, in order to address the funding challenges of largely self-funding a major feature documentary film.

In fact the press was so good that many people believed that I had completed my documentary, already screened it, and was getting rave reviews for it. This was not the case. Because I had screened selected clips from the film to support the tenants struggle to keep their homes, it was easy to make that association.  Renamed THE HOUSING GAMES, the project is now a Mini-series to be released in late 2021.  The series will include the media firestorm caused by the release of the “secret contract” in 2021, and the aftermath.
