The Challenge
Miners are often misunderstood due to misconceptions about their profession, overlooking the challenging conditions they face and the vital role they play in supplying essential resources for society's functioning.
The Insight
Voices underneath fuel society's heartbeat.
Miners' voices are crucial as they shed light on the challenges, safety concerns, and invaluable contributions of their profession, advocating for better working conditions and recognition of their vital role in society.
The Idea
A Rock And A Hard Place
A Rock And A Hard Place, directed and produced by Headframe Films, is a portrait of Red Lake, a small Northwestern Ontario community built atop one of the world’s richest underground gold mines. The film examines a modern-day gold rush as residents reflect on the boom and bust grind of life in a gold mining town. Following the extraction of gold from 7000 ft underground to the surface, voices from the deep reveal a community long-dependent on a single resource; including the threat of relocation due to open-pit mine development.
Trailer was edited in collaboration with Headframe Films, and website was originally designed by myself.
