Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

Ali Milner “I Can’t Wait Forever” Music Video

November 3, 2009

If you don’t know Ali Milner and her music you do now. At 19 years old she is already a sort of crafty veteran of singing and songwriting.  Ali just released her second c.d and we got a chance to shoot a video for her in the deep woods of Squamish B.C and North Vancouver.  It was a blast and Ali truly knocked it out of the park.  Even in the rainy cold environment and us making her play the track at double speed she kept her composure and pretty much nailed every take.  Today is the day this video goes live.  Please feel free to embed it/email it to friends/facebook it etc.  Enjoy

Until We Have a Helicopter Curatorial Project

October 13, 2009

My two favorite Vancouver curators have a new show opening this Thursday from 6 to 9.  The concept this time around was every piece that is showing at the gallery had to make it through the 3rd story window of the Back Gallery Project and whatever was used to get it through those windows had to be a part of the artists work as well.

Here is a video we whipped up of the installation
