K5T Elder Pat Squires

Reel Youth partnered with K5T in Terrace, BC to run a hands-on filmmaking program that brought young people and local Elders together to share stories, skills, and perspectives. Over a week, youth participants learned every stage of film production — from narrative development and interviewing to camera work and editing — and collaborated with Elders to create three short documentary films. The resulting films celebrate intergenerational connection, lived experience, and community resilience while giving young creators practical training and confidence in media arts. Explore the three films below and see how storytelling built relationships across generations in Northwest British Columbia.
