Hendrik and J Hock’s thoughts on homelessness in Gastown and inviting J-Hock to be part of AHA MEDIA!!

June 27, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

In this video, Hendrik Beune, Director of AHA MEDIA with J-Hock speak about a fancy furniture store in Gastown where Storeyeum used to be. They recall that Audrey Laferriere, a well known DTES campaigner advocated for 2 years to convert Storeyeum, which was a vacant city-owned building to be turned into a homeless shelter which didn’t happen.

Impressed with J-Hock’s thoughts, April Smith and Hendrik Beune then invite J-Hock to join AHA MEDIA and help in community reporting 🙂

This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone.
