Cinematic storytelling in the Canadian Rockies
Video and photography for sports, events and adventure, from Fernie, BC and Hinton, AB. Shot, edited and delivered by one storyteller.
One storyteller, from the race course to the backcountry and the rink to the boardroom.
I'm Belina Hooper, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran based in Fernie, BC and Hinton, AB. I film sports, events and adventure across the Canadian Rockies, and I shoot, edit and deliver every project myself, so your story is captured the way it deserves to be remembered.
“Because someday, someone will look back on this and feel everything all over again.”
Your film, within 48 hours of your event
That's long enough to make a quality product, and soon enough to reach your viewers and athletes while the event is still fresh, before they move on to the next one.

The storyteller behind the lens
Stories are the heartbeat of everything I film: the rides, the ranch work, the wild places, the game-winning goals, the laughter, and the faith that carries us through it all.
I believe God places callings on our hearts, and mine is to capture the stories that matter before they fade: the people, the work, and the moments that make a life worth living. That calling built Western Cowboy Chronicles, and it has grown into something bigger, from the rodeo arena to the backcountry and from the rink to the brands building something of their own.
