parked filmmaker

Same day -- I ran into Karen McDiarmid at Wild Flour. She's one of the extraordinary women of Banff and, among other things, a filmmaker. She's part of the Tara Café Project http://www.taracafeproject.ca/shiningspirit.htm. They created Shining Spirit, a film about a Tibetan family reunited to make music. Jamyang Yeshi, one of the Tibetan musicians was with her. I had been listening to their CD for years without knowing it had been conceived and produced locally.
