Inuit

I have found some exciting information for my book. I searched and searched for Inuit information and found one of the most authentic, wonderful, AND FREE sources of information. I am so ready to write more after being stuck on one part of the story. How do I get an Inuk in America? Why would he come to America?

The film crew took a $5000 grant to make my favorite film, "Before Tomorrow." It ultimately got investors for 3.5 million.  A french woman Marie-Helene Cousineau helped write the script from the book by Jorn Riel. He has also written many other books of interest for me! (looking to see if they are in English). The film crew went from Iglooik, Nunavut to Puvirnituq, Quebec. Two Inuit cultures, different dialect. The Igloolik did teach many of the Puvirnituq Inut the traditional way of the Inuit that have disappeared. I agree with the interview, it is a different style of filming, documentary-like and using natural light providing a realism film that makes the audience feel like they are peeking into the Inuk life. This film also provided many jobs for people in a desolate area.
