About Bear Image Productions:

About the Owner:

I, Sandra Bonner-Pederson, am a member of the Tzeachten First Nation and a 1994 graduate of the Television Broadcasting course at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. I have been in the television industry since 1989. My first role in the industry was a volunteer host for a Chilliwack community program entitled "Rebirth of a Nation." This half hour program dealt with various issues of our First Nation people; from First Nation artist to victims of Residential Schools.

I was raised off the Tzeachten Reserve and had no concept of my cultural background. This program brought me back to my heritage and opened my eyes to see the beauty, talents and strengths of our First Nations people.I know the importance of not only our people, but all people, sharing their strengths and telling their stories to others. This is why I chose the Television Industry to one day archive our people's cultural traditions in video, as well as all other important moments in life.

A goal that I had hope to one day achieve, came to light in 2006, when Shaw Cable gave us air time to produce a First Nation program.  The program is entitled “Bear Tracks” and it highlights stories, traditions, cultural artwork etc. of the Sto:lo People.  Sto:lo is a Halq’emeylem word meaning river.  Please contact Shaw Cable in Chilliwack for viewing times.

I have an extensive background in video production and have the ability to take on the roles of Producer, Director, Writer, Camera Operator, and Editor.  I have 2 cameras, one is a Digital Camera (DVC200P) and the other is  HD (HVX200 P2).  I also house 2 Edit Suites (Avid Xpress Pro 5.7).
