Videos
Not only does Indigenous Culture & Media Innovations create films for various organizations and groups in Canada, but we also give students the freedom to create their own films based on their interests. One of ICMI's main goals is to teach youth different filming and video editing techniques, giving people the skills necessary to create their own films from start to finish.
Here, we have grouped the videos into similar themes including student videos (which were created solely by students' working with ICMI), promotional videos, how-to videos, events and more.
We also have our own cable tv show on Roger's Ottawa, channel 22. For these videos, please see the Insert Media Here section of the website.

2010 Creefest
ICMI's largest video project to-date, the 2010 Creefest was held in Chapleau, Ontario. With various activities held throughout the day, and concerts at the arena in town at night, ICMI documented the entire 4-day long celebration. Over 40 hours of footage was filmed by the summer students (Tyler Compton, Camay Demers, Toni Baggos, Tanis Morriseau) and the ICMI assistants (Nicole Quenneville and Joanie Mendowegan), which was edited into several parts by the latter two.
The Last Weekend
A story about 5 recent high-school graduates and friends who spend their last weekend together on vacation. Ashley (Joanie Mendowegan), the spoiled brat, was forced to take her little brother Michael (Liam Louttit) with them. Cate (Camay Demers), the lovable mother-figure is always trying to help out and keep peace between her friends. Dina (Tanis Morrisseau), the boy-lover, just wants to have fun and enjoy life. Becky (Toni Baggos), the top-honours valedictorian, can't wait to move away to university and leave her town behind her. Sasha (Nicole Quenneville), a small town girl at heart who just wants to get married and have a bunch of kids. After the girls slowly begin turning into zombies, Sasha must uncover the hidden secret... but is she the one with the secret after all? Shot in 3 days while on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada, The Last Weekend is ICMI's 2010 summer film. Edited by Tyler Compton, and helped by Joanie Mendowegon and Nicole Quenneville.
