They are a long time collaborator and video mentor with Access to Media Education Society, and their film work has screened at festivals such as imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival (2021) and Vancouver Queer Film Festival (2022).

Storytelling is the driving force behind the majority of Nova’s work, whether it be sharing and uplifting under represented voices through film making, or by sharing their own lived experiences through creative expression. As an educator/storyteller, they take pride in sharing their journey, knowledge and teachings to all ages, and have performed storytelling events across Turtle Island.
