These combined passions eventually led him to the Vancouver Film School where he graduated with a diploma in Digital Design in 2010. When not working for Dene A Journey, Riel is skateboarding, volunteering for Western Arctic Moving Pictures (WAMP), and practicing/investing his time in Adobe After Effects/C4D for future projects.
Any funny/scary/inspiring stories from while you were on location
We were in Jean Marie for Kristin’s episode, sitting around the fire with Bill and Steve & Amos , Amos asks me “Hey Riel, Metis?” and it had been a long day, I was slightly cranky from the heat and responded “no man, I’m Cree-Chip” we went back and forth a few times and each time I was a little more annoyed and I just said the same thing “no, not Metis, Cree-Chip!” and Amos finally clarified & slowly said “No Riel, I asked if you MADE TEA”. Whoops.
