Hello Cool World Intern Julius Booth creates short film from Archival footage

Verifying/Tkwáynai7m - A Short film by Julius Booth

Before packing my things and heading off to Montreal, I interned at Hello Cool World during a remarkably sunny July. The perfect send off from a city I’ve called home for so long. Accentuating the great month was the great time I had in the HCW office. Thanks to Kat and David for making me feel super welcome. Kat and I had quite a few ideas for what I could do at the beginning of the month but it turned out editing was my thing. When comparing the following video with my first its obvious how much I learned in such a short period of time.

I’ve been in Montreal for almost two weeks and I’m writing this only now because of the whirlwind of activity that’s involved in renting and furnishing an apartment. The hard work is behind me and a crazy first week of university awaits. Enjoy this short film on what was easily the most important day of the entire Uts’am/Witness Project.

Editors Note: We've been thrilled to have Julius for part of the summer and we're very proud of the short film he's made. Looking back at the events of 2001 and doing new interviews with Chief Bill, Nancy and myself was a great way to be reminded of what, with the participation of over 10,000 people, the Uts'am project accomplished. We wish Jules all the best at McGill and will miss having him around!

Watch the film after the break...
