2014-Nexopia, News Article
“Post-colonial narratives are stories that re-contextualize classic Western tales into new frameworks. They flip power structures on their heads, writing marginalized histories back into empires and examining the actual criteria of Western heroism. They privilege tricksters, victims, and subjects that exist between worlds.”

“And Fort Frances, Ont.-born Métis artist Terril Calder muses on the value of humility in Vessel, an experimental animation involving a disquieting doll-like figure. This is a very concise, very brief work, but its eerie, unsettling atmosphere will stay with you for a long time.”

3013- 4 out of 5 stars/The Arts Guild Magazine Article http://www.theartsguild.com/imaginenative-2013-red-justice-league-shorts-program/
“Repercussions is a simple yet incredibly fascinating short that exposes the true magic of stop-motion animation. With no specific plot to follow, it allows for the formal elements to shine and collaborate in order to really bring the piece together in a noteworthy way. The lighting in the short is fantastic, and the urban lighting of the initial shot is incredibly realistic. The feel of animation remains, but the ambiance is wonderfully crafted. Along with this strength, the characters’ movements are beautiful; not perfectly fluid, but entrancing nonetheless. The sequences where the main character is free-falling are a delight to watch, and the great attention to detail the creation must have entailed is clearly evident. The music perfectly complements the dynamic settings and movements, and the song “Electric Pow Wow” by A Tribe Called Red truly gives the piece a unique identity. Lasting a mere 3 minutes and 45 seconds, Repercussions accomplishes the difficult task of not only being visually and musically compelling, but being filled with interesting concepts about the city and its relation to history that, being largely open to interpretation, allow for the spectator’s enthrallment with the piece.”

Film: Choke(Co-created with Michelle Latimer)
2011
“Jimmy, a young man leaving his First Nations reserve to go into the city, embarks on an urban road filled with roaming lost and dark souls. Yet his break with the ties of the past, we learn, will never be complete. A gorgeously crafted poem, Michelle Latimer's film brings the audience on an intimate path of self-discovery.
"Choke fearlessly expresses the psychological isolation of youth in search of assimilation and identity, and is a perfect illustration of the possibilities and versatility of the genre.” (Karina Rotenstein, TIFF)
