With the movie enjoying a successful festival run, Clements told Yellow- knifer she's excited to bring it back to the community during the Yellowknife Inter- national Film Festival. She said the movie was always a collaborative effort between her production crew and the community. "In every way, we were coming together to make something happen," said the B.C.-based filmmaker. "That I think was difficult but really exciting while we were in it." Screening the film will give the cast, crew and com- munity an opportunity to reflect on the production, according to Clements. "It's part of the grace you get after the hard work," she said. "You get to sit together and say, 'look at what we did.'" She said the choice of shooting on location in the NWT provided "integrity" to the film. Additionally, collab- orating with film, community and cultural connections — all while working in three different languages — added another important layer to the film's themes, she said. 8 yellowknifer, Friday, November 1, 2019 Editorial & Opinions Published Wednesdays and Fridays Comments and views from Yellowknifer and letters to the editor
