REVIEWS & COMMENTS:
“Rainforest is a sumptuously filmed documentary of the ancient forest… I’m guessing you’ll enjoy this film immensely. It mixes gorgeous imagery with stories of the recent past that will horrify and excite you.”Dave Olsen Reel Life, Real Ideas: Movies and more…
“This movie is not one to miss.” Kyle Empringham for World Wildlife Fund Canada Blog
“With breath-taking imagery taken from angles most people can never imagine seeing first-hand, Rainforest is both inspiring and educational in its scope, as it uncovers the haunting reality of the situation in B.C.’s old-growth forests.” Mary Ellen Green – Monday Magazine
“Congratulations again on your beautiful and disturbing film. I meant to ask you how you mounted your camera for those wonderfully smooth aerial shots.” Martin Duckworth
“What an eye-opening, fascinating and beautiful film you made.” May Antaki
“I want to congratulate you on that piece of art. It works for me on so many levels. Personal & global & gripping and casual and funny. Totally moving. I was mesmerized every minute.” Ronny Bee
“Beautiful film Richard. Thank you for making it. My favourite Canadian documentary of all time – The Street. Go see The Street’s DOP Richard Boyce’s latest documentary RAINFOREST” Carlo Guillermo Proto
“Truly stunning photography images, shot by cinematographer/director Richard Boyce while suspended hundreds of feet in the air. A unique journey.” Mila Aung-Thwin
“Your Rainforest film is really powerful Richard. Thank you for your time and commitment to the cause. Thank you for sharing this deeply personal journey to the heart of this conflict about the destruction of the splendour that is the Temperate Rainforest on Vancouver Island.” Keith Meagher
“I saw this film at the (Vancouver) Film Festival and highly recommend it – a powerful depiction of some of the most reckless forestry practices on the planet, told by Richard Boyce, a filmmaker with a deep love for this beautiful island where we live… may it awaken the peaceful warrior in you.” Joanne Winstanley
