Rodeo Women Blog

Here is an example of the editing work. All with the professional touch of Jordan O’Connor, the interpid editor.

Apologies for the long silence. Editing a film is a always a long process. In this case, I am taking the time necessary to make a film that will represent us rodeo women in the best light — one that is true to all the complexities that our lives bring.

So sad to hear of the loss of this amazing rodeo woman. The daughter of Dave Perry of Perry and Hook Rodeo outfit, she knew what it was to work as a rodeo girl and then woman. She was also an amazing teacher education student in UBC’s NITEP program when I was coordinator. She became a stellar teacher. Two of her sisters Joyce Smith and Barbara Stewart were interviewed for the film.

Update: Here we are with winter high-tailing it outa here and spring flowers trying to show their heads. Yes, the film editing process goes on. And on and on. Never despair: there will be a film….perfection takes time.
