In 2022, this work was developed into Kim's first short documentary film called 'Kokum, with love.' which pays honour to her kokum Flora, whom Kim never knew except by her mom's memories. The film was developed as part of the NSI-Canada IndigiDocs program and was produced with assistance from the HotDocs CrossCurrents Canada Doc Fund. Additional artist funding support is gratefully acknowledged from the Indigenous Screen Office (ISO).
