my front lawn is your front lawn

I'm a west coast writer, editor, design junky, fashion lover and book collector. After moving to Scotland in 2006 I spent the next five years making my way back home incrementally, by way of Oxford and Toronto. Today I can be found combing Vancouver's secondhand shops, jogging the seawall, and appreciating local microbrews.

The Front Lawn is where I put out my thoughts on design, fashion and culture. Dig your toes into the grass and stay a while!

rwanda: hope rises

The other night we were showing some friends the trailer for a film that one of our most super-est talented-est friends has spent the last three years creating. It's like, the fifth time I've viewed this clip , but somehow it still always gets a reaction out of me.

Trevor made multiple trips to Rwanda with the help of his other super talented friends, to capture the story of a Rwandan couple who inadvertently found themselves on opposite sides of a tribal war - he is a Hutu and she is a Tutsi. They do an amazing job of capturing both the horror of those days, and also the hope and healing that Rwanda is experiencing now.

After years of watching latest edits and hearing about the evolution of this film, I'm happy to say it's finally available on DVD. I've already reserved my copy and highly recommend you do the same!

Watch the trailer below and click here to learn more about the film and the production of it.
