Production crews line up actors and extras for a drag-racing scene in the feature film Two Lovers and a Bear at the old metal dump in Iqaluit, April 9. Producers invited residents out for a chance to appear as a crowd of drag-race watchers at the edge of the city, on day 10 of the shoot in the Nunavut capital. “The people of Iqaluit who are working with us are a big help, it’s a lot of fun,” said costume designer Judy Jonker, up from Montreal with a crew led by award-winning director Kim Nguyen. “There’s a good community spirit here. It’s natural for people to help, and take part.” (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
