Kelvin Redvers

[2] Because of the success of Our First Voices, Redvers, at the age of 23, was hired in September 2010 by CTV as a producer of CTV-BC's First Story, a Vancouver-based television series and production company that detail Canadian Aboriginal concerns.[5] The funding that he received through BravoFACT allowed Redvers the opportunity to make the seven-minute short film The Dancing Cop.[8][1] Redvers mails the We Matter videos on USB drives to Indigenous communities across Canada who do not have internet access.[9] The series follows the hard and challenging work of the men and women behind the annual sealift that brings almost all of the supplies to the many Northern communities not served by roads.Redvers told Nunavut News that he first conceived the idea for the show in 2015, and that part of his motivation was dissatisfaction with how the North was portrayed by film-makers from the south.
