This a simple, beautiful video by my friend Ian Cameron, third leg of Montreal’s The National Parcs tripod.

Ian is the first person I started peppering with questions about filmmaking, some 7 years ago. It seems so long ago, now. We actually worked on my first project together – a found-footage film about the Century of Light, the name given to the 1900s by, I believe, `Abdu’l-Baha. It was a great little film, some 10 minutes long, and it elicited emotion, which I was proud of.

Seven years later, here I am.

Ian, after being resident VJ for Freeworm, is now a full-fledged member of The National Parcs, a group signed to Audiogram and making big waves in Quebec and the nation at large. It’s only a matter of time before they explode

For this video, Ian asked Montrealers in Chinatown to write, in one word, what their hope for the future was. This is the result:
