Enough to get by
Oliver Barker
Oliver is a wildlife biologist, living in Whitehorse. Enough to get by is his first film.
Sara Nielsen
Sara's day job as parks interpretive planner allows her to share her love of Yukon's wilds and rich stories. She also can be found coaching cross-country skiing or sharing music around a campfire under the midnight sun. Sara's previous acting experience includes several theatre productions and A Fish's Tale, shown in schools across Canada. Twenty years later, she's still approached by children who ask if she was 'the fish.'
Christopher Griffiths
Christopher has worked in the communications and graphic design industries for over fifteen years, for clients ranging from singers to airlines – and worked on projects from scarf patterns to promotional videos. A graduate of the University of Victoria's Creative Writing program, his work has been performed on stage and on CBC radio. Enough to get by is his first dramatic short film production. He lives, with his wife and long dog, among lakes and mountains in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Tyler Kuhn
Tyler is a born and raised Yukoner who always seems to find himself back in the Yukon (and happy to be back). He has spent far too long in school, and occasionally thinks about spending more time studying palaeontology and genetics. And for all those that are curious, yes, he has worked on "dinosaur DNA", and no, we can't clone a dinosaur! But amidst all that schooling, he has been fostering a passion for photography and videography. Enough to get by is his first foray into short films.
Kieran O'Donovan
Kieran is a director of photography and filmmaker who began his career as a wildlife biologist – which ultimately led to his career in filmmaking when he began work as a camera assistant working on wildlife documentaries for the BBC. Since then, he has gone on to shoot material for some landmark wildlife series including Wild Canada, which aired recently on CBC Television. With Enough to get by as his first attempt at short drama, Kieran is moving onto new things. He is presently developing several film projects and is preparing to work on two new BBC wildlife documentary series.
Declan O'Donovan
Declan is a singer, songwriter and pianist from Whitehorse, Yukon. His music is influenced by the sounds of Americana, blues, folk and roots, finding inspiration from artists such as Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Randy Newman. Declan's self-titled debut was independently released in late 2012 and garnered positive reviews in Canada and abroad. Recently Declan received a 2014 Maple Blues nomination for Best New Artist Of The Year, and is dividing his time between Toronto and the Yukon as he develops his next album.
