Scot Bathgate links us to The Real People of Vancouver by joi productions.
I was sick of TV’s gross misrepresentation of who is “real” in Vancouver. Real to me is someone who does what they love and keeps doing it. When I walk through this city I see people who live this out daily. They may dress wacky and sound crazy, but they are working and living with passion. They’re not perfect, and they don’t try to be. They are unapologetically real. These are the people who inspire and intrigue me. These are the people of Vancouver, the ones whose stories deserve to be told.

Here’s episode 2: Mad Dog, the heritage punk of Vancouver.
Having lived near Main St. for years I would see a older man on a bike wearing a patched jean jacket with a little pug in a side cart around the local coffee shop Gene. We would talk about music and I asked him if I could film him for a day. Fast forward to last month when I took the time to actually film Mad Dog aka “the heritage punk of Vancouver”. This episode features photographer Bev Davies, Mad Dog’s son Farrell Augustin, lead singer of White Lung and contributor for Vice magazine Mish Way.
