Iqaluit loses feature film project

Thanks for marking my little spot in the history of Nunavut filmmaking, in your recent editorial (Nunatsiaq News, June 28).

If you need some more bad news about the current sorry state of things, consider this: A feature film project I worked on for almost a decade was very near to production last year. My story depended entirely on people and locations in Nunavut (it was set in Iqaluit with it’s inimitable atmosphere), so when Nunavut tax credit assistance proved unavailable to my investors and I refused to change locations, the project was abandoned.
