Been thinking a lot about how many filmmakers sit on footage while the world burns. So I made a talk about it.

🎤 Smash the Gatekeepers is a straight-up challenge to the way media is made and hoarded. It's about making films for movements—not festivals. About releasing footage now, when it matters.

I draw from 20+ years in the trenches with subMedia, Wet’suwet’en, Mi’kmaq, and struggles from Australia to Japan.

If you’re part of a campus, collective, or crew that wants to talk about how to make media that actually supports resistance, hit me up.

Smash the Gatekeepers: Radical Filmmaking in Times of Crisis 🎥🔥

Drawing on decades of frontline media experience—from subMedia to Democracy Now! to Al Jazeera—this talk explores how filmmakers can serve movements, not markets. We’ll unpack the ethics of “release and share” filmmaking, the dangers of media hoarding, and how rapid video can fuel real-world resistance.
