Welcome to our new semi-regular feature, the ɫ��TV News Roundup, where we collect some of the wonderful media coverage our community has recently received.

Read on for a quick glimpse at some of the ways the people we know are making waves!

Tom Hsu on Fred Herzog

Artist Tom Hsu (BFA 2017) was about the work of legendary Vancouver photographer Fred Herzog, whose work he first discovered as an ɫ��TV student.

Herzog's ability to capture “genuine human moments” was one of the first things that struck him about the artist, Tom says.

Herzog continues to influence Tom’s own work through the way he “encapsulated the beauty of everyday occurrences,” the story continues. And like Herzog, Tom’s photos often capture very specific moments in time.

“One image can take you right back to a certain memory,” Tom says.

Kenny Welsh in the Georgia Straight

The Faraway Place, a horror-fantasy short by writer/director (BMA 2020) and producer (BFA 2019), was selected earlier this year as a finalist in the Crazy8s Festival.

In April, Kenny about the film.

“I wanted to make this film as a metaphor/co-representation of colonialism, because I'm Indigenous, but I didn't grow up with any of the culture, mostly because my grandparents had gone to residential schools, and the culture was lost,” he tells the Straight.

“W���ٳ� The Faraway Place I wanted to get a better understanding of how that culture was lost, and just tell the story of that. And then from here on, as I grow and learn more about the culture, I plan on telling more stories about it as well.”
