The story for the "Restoration" script came after Storymaker's Pamela Jones reconnected with co-writer Gordon Loverin in a parking garage, so it's fitting that one of the central "characters" in this short is a car - in fact, a vintage Cutlass owned by Gordon.  The two had worked together on a corporate video pitch several years earlier and one day realized they lived in the same apartment building.  As Gordon worked on his car, he told Pam that he had always wanted to shoot a film about it, and had this idea about a couple of buddies having to deliver it to a special recipient.  But as is the case with most stories we want to tell, there is always something behind the initial idea.

​

Pam is of Scandinavian descent and Gordon is proudly Tlingit-Tahltan and together they realized they had both endured the pain of losing touch with family and friends and of themselves after going through traumatic events.  When Gordon shared some of his native traditions for healing, they knew they had to write this powerful, and sometimes comical journey of restoration.

We received a Canada Council Grant to allow us to work with a script consultant and to travel to the Yukon to expand this short script into a feature length script.  We are humbled, honoured and grateful for the opportunity.
