Despite gruelling daily shoots lasting as long as 16 hours staff say the opportunity to work on the authentically Northern project makes the effort well worth it. Were having a lot of fun between the crew and the cast weve all got a nice vibe together said producer Amos Scott. Its an indie lm its always fun to be able to have a chance to work on that kind of project. I think audiences around the world need to see what our North is like. ThemovieisbeingmadebyJillandJacksh Productions run by Scott and the lms head writerdirector Kirsten Carthew. Shooting for the project began on location in Yellowknife at the end of August before cast and crew ew to their set on the land in Fort McPherson early last week. The Sun at Midnight tells the story of urban teenager Lia a troubled girl sent to live with her estranged grandmother in Fort McPher- son. Quickly exasperated by life in the Arc- tic she escapes by boat along the Mackenzie River until she runs into hunter Alfred who reluctantly takes her under his wing. Playing Lia is Devery Jacobs known for her role in Rhymes for Young Ghouls among Filming underway on Fort McPherson-based flick The Sun at Midnight captures contemporary issues impacting youth other things Scott said. For Alfred we have Duane Howard who just nished working on the production of The Revenant with Leon- ardo DiCaprio. Inuvik-born Gwichin musician William Greenland made his professional acting debut in the movie as Danny a tour guide. For him the tale hits a nerve as it explores a struggle many young indigenous folks experi- ence while trying to balance traditional ways of living and knowing with the ways of a more contemporary high-speed life. The story is kind of typical of any young person who is so caught up in todays society and technology that they forget about getting out on the land and getting away from the iPhones and the computers and all this new technology Greenland said. Its interesting because a lot of our young people are not as strongly interested in the language and the culture as they should be. Were losing a lot of our elders now so where are we going to get our stories our knowledge about the his- tory of our people if we dont have our young people working on it today Greenland is hopeful that projects like The Sun at Midnight will inuence a youth to take the time to explore their own roots. I think this movie will get people to stop and think about how they can get reconnected to their culture he said. A boon for the NWT lm industry Funding for the movie came from the In- dustry Tourism and Investment ITI Sup- port for Entrepreneurs and Economic Devel- opment SEED Program as well as the NWT Film Commissions Film Rebate Program set up last year to encourage NWT lmmakers. I think its just good for the North to have a story like this come out Scott said. Its really important and a really great project for our industry locally and hopefully it will spur other things that come along. Filming will wrap in mid-September with post-production taking place over the winter. The Sun at Midnight is set to make its debut in the spring of 2016 hitting the lm festival circuit soon after.
