Bio

Born in The Pas, Manitoba, Kevin Ferris caught the filmmaking bug in the 1980s, eked out a freelance career in the 1990s, then went broke in the new millennium.  Since then Ferris has turned to minimalism, establishing a virtual one-person animation shop.  He remains a devotee to the thrill of storytelling.

Gerry Barret: The Original Aboriginal takes us from studio interview to the stage at Rumor’s Comedy Club and the Cat Sass Tavern. Gerry’s repertoire includes topics like: what should an Indian D.J. sound like on the radio?... A day in the life of Canada’s first native prime minister... a ballad to Elijah Harper and much more, including a stop at a movie shoot.
