About Ken

From his earliest deployment in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to his work in the wilds of British Columbia, adventure guiding and instructing wilderness courses, to his current career as a digital documentary filmmaker, Matheson has accumulated more than a few good stories along the way. He found a way to bring voice to those tales while attending a certificate program conducted by the  Centre for Digital Storytelling in conjunction with  Royal Roads University. What began as creative curiosity soon grew into Matheson’s passion and his life’s calling. That one program changed the direction of Matheson’s life inspiring him to earn his certificate in  Documentary Film Studies at Capilano University’s School of Motion Picture Arts. He’s been behind the lens ever since.A member of the  Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Film Commission and the  BC Chapter of the Documentary Organization of Canada, Matheson expertly navigates the path of each film he creates, building relationships and story lines along the way. The end result of this meticulous process are powerful and compelling films that connect viewers with people, and places while exploring the depth and complexity of the human experience. A passionate outdoorsman and avid historian, Matheson’s documentaries cover a wide range of subjects including the Grizzly bears of  BC’s Khutzeymateen Provincial Park, the  Bowron Lakes canoe circuit, workplace harrassment and a career destroyed in  Nancy’s Story and the children of  Little Moccasins, which, until his short film was released, remained an untold chapter in Canada’s First Nation’s history as seen through the eyes of children.
