Nadia Faye-Lynn Humchitt 2016 Bio:

I go to Bella Bella Community School. I am in grade 9, I love to go fishing. I also love to traditionally sing and dance. I like to play basketball and when I am stressed I got out on the water with my inflatable boat and meditate. When I was younger I liked to climb trees and build forts. When I am older I would like to build houses. (What inspired me was ‘Masters of Flip’). I was in my friend’s short film before but this is my first time making one.
