Erick Villagomez, one of the principals over at re:place, has a recommendation for Price Tags readers:
Just a quick note to pass along a link to a really interesting website created by the National Film Board and some locals. Its about the community of Pine Point, its history, the people, etc. Pretty amazing … and it’s getting some great reviews by some high-profile folk (i.e. Douglas Coupland, etc.)
I thought you and all the readers of Price Tags might be interested. Click here for the site.
I can be pretty confident in saying that you’ve never seen anything quite like it.
This is an amazing creation. How would you feel if your home town was removed from the face of the earth. If your childhood was just a memory. I was engrossed and deeply moved. Long live Pine Point! Thank you!
yes, very good production. I’ve often thought about all the old abandoned mining towns throughout BC and what became of them and the people and the wealth they created. This puts some perspective on my thoughts.
Lovely site. Thanks for posting Gordon.
