Edward Cepka grew up in Port Alberni when it was a thriving MacMillan and Bloedel company town—prosperous, industrious, and steeped in the belief that good times would last forever. Fascinated by the town’s layered history—the contrasts between working-class grit, lingering colonial wealth, and the shadow of the residential school—he began exploring its stories early on. Summers spent in the mills and forests deepened his understanding of the place. After studying English and Architecture at UBC, Cepka watched from afar as the mills closed and the town faded. What began as a pioneer saga evolved into a darkly comic meditation on colonization, environmental loss, and the ghosts of prosperity past.
