He filmed throughout the retreat and meditated as time allowed. A long time Buddhist, he has made five films with H.H. the Dalai Lama, including Heart of Tibet, Sleepwalking Mongolia, and The Oracle. As a young man he went to Prague to learn Czech and study feature film direction at the Prague Film Academy (FAMU). Returning to Canada he began making documentaries and never stopped. Except for music composition he does all the creative, technical, and administrative tasks on his films from conception to completion and has lived to tell the tale.
