Trevor's Story

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and in light of this we thought it would be appropriate to share a film we worked on earlier this year with the Housing Industry Association Charitable Foundation in Australia. A huge thank you to Trevor Renison for sharing his very personal experience and story with us.

In Australia, construction workers are twice as likely to commit suicide than people in other industries, and industry apprentices are two and a half times more likely to commit suicide than other young people their age. These alarming statistics are one of the reasons the HIACF reached out to us, in the hope of creating a film with a story and a message loud enough that it would be heard by the people who are most at risk.

The film was screened at both the National Apprenticeship Awards and also the National Housing Awards, and is now shown to every single Australian apprentice during their training. It is my hope that this film will shed some light on the topic of suicide, and the signs to not only look out for but act on, if you happen to recognize them in friends, family or colleagues who may be suffering in silence.

SD73 ASSAI PROGRAMS

As someone who regularly participated in after school activities as a child, working on this project with SD73 was really special for me. We got to meet some amazing kids, and the incredible instructors who are not only teaching them skills in sports and the arts, but life skills that will carry through with them forever. Thank you to Alex Inglis, for allowing us the opportunity to work on this video with the school district. We hope this video will inspire the inner child in everyone!

Rayleigh Skatepark Project

How far would you go to make your dreams come true?

We had the pleasure of telling this inspiring story of two Kamloops teenagers, who with a little help from their aunt and a lot of support from the City of Kamloops, turned their skatepark fantasy into a reality.
