Realizing she wanted something more meaningful than a retail “McJob,” Christy began taking general studies courses at Capilano University. When she heard that the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies program allows students to build their own degrees, she was sold. “You get to come out with something completely unique to you,” she says. “The creativity that you’re allowed to express in how you shape your degree is amazing.” Christy followed her passion for art history to create a final project exploring the intersection of technology with museum culture. Today, she is working on an exhibit exploring Victorian “Dandy” culture for the Roedde House Museum in Vancouver’s West End, timed to correspond with Pride Week.

A hoop dancer since her teen years, the Woodland Cree filmmaker says the progression from telling stories through dance to telling stories on screen was a natural one. Petie entered Capilano University’s Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts program originally hoping the degree would help her get work in on-set visual effects. However, the screenwriting courses she took grabbed her storyteller’s heart. “With everything I’ve learned at Capilano, I asked myself what I could do here, today, that could make a shift in the perception of Indigenous people,” Petie says. Realizing she has important stories to tell, Petie applied for and won Telefilm Canada’s prestigious $120,000 MicroBudget Production Program grant to make her first feature film, River of Silence. Drawn from her own family’s experience of losing her grandmother, the film explores the difficult issue of murdered and missing women in Canada. Petie is also a graduate of Cap’s Indigenous Independent Digital Filmmaking diploma and certificate.
