Rheanna is a video creator based out of the Greater Vancouver Area. She started her career after graduating from Simon Fraser University with a BFA with honours in Film Production. From there she worked in documentary post-production, on films such as Fractured Land and The Moving Child. After this, she began working extensively in corporate documentary, beginning with creating a web series about the innovative work of InWithForward, which launched her freelance career. When she isn’t experimenting with her own film projects, Rheanna is collaborating with local businesses and organizations to create a variety of videos. In her spare time she likes to take long walks in the forest, snuggle her miniature poodle (who makes a cameo in Dadaji/Ode), and dance in her living room.Rheanna Toy
PosAbilities.ca – Anjalica Solomon – Roshni Kashap
Dadaji/Ode emerged from an initiative created by posAbilities, an organization that provides a broad range of services to people with developmental disabilities and their families. posAbilities paired up poets of diverse abilities and commissioned them to write together. The poems in Dadaji/Ode came from one of these collaborations, and features poems written and read by Rosh Kashap and Anjalica Solomon. When the pandemic hit, the possibility of a live reading of the poems was out of the question, so posAbilities asked Rheanna to make a video to go with the poems. Faced with the restrictions that came during the early days of covid, Rheanna came up with the idea to film herself and her colleague (from her bubble) against a white backdrop set up in her home, overlaying their silhouettes with stock footage and family photos provided by Anjalica and Roshni.
Dadaji/Ode will be showing as part of our PURPLE program exhibiting July 15-19th, 2021!
