So our casting in Kuujjuaq is all wrapped up. Thanks to all those who came out to audition, to the wonderful Sylvia Cloutier for all her help (and delicious cooking!), and to the town of Kuujjuaq for access to the impressive Kattitavik Theatre...
And a very special thanks to First Air for helping us make our trip to Nunavik and Nunavut possible.
We're in Montreal now. We managed to squeeze in a few auditions here over the past couple hours, but for all those in Montreal and Ottawa, we are hoping to come back to meet more people. If you are from any area in Canada that we were not able to visit (including Montreal and Ottawa) and you'd like to audition, DEFINITELY CONTACT US! We want this casting process to be open to everyone who is interested and even if we can't meet you in person quite yet, we're hoping you can at least do a video audition. Send us an email at casting@ontheicethemovie.com and we can explain more about how to do it. So far we've gotten emails from people in Pond Inlet, Montreal, Rankin Inlet, Kuujjuaraapik, Clyde River and Ottawa, and we're hoping people from all over will be able to videotape auditions.
Also, for those who've been reading since the beginning I wasn't able to get photos of the gorgeous bright yellow-orange Kuujjuaq trees because they had already lost their leaves by the time we got back there. I am however able to tell you what they are. From a very reliable source I have been told that they are a deciduous conifer called American larch, aka tamarach or Larix larcina. Here's a picture I didn't take of them. (Sadly it doesn't come close to how impressively vibrant they were in Kuujjuaq. They seemed plugged in!)
Next stop...Anchorage, Alaska!
We're heading to Kuujjuaq today, had a very productive three days here in Iqaluit, met lots of talented people. Here are the Kuujjuaq details for our casting this weekend there...
Our Kuujjuaq auditions begin on Saturday at the Kattitavik Theatre. For anyone interested in coming by, here are the details:
Saturday, October 17th -- 1-4pm
Sunday, October 18th -- 1-4pm
You are welcome to come any time within that time, but it's better to come Saturday if you can. If we are considering you for a role we might ask you to stay past 4pm on Saturday or come back Sunday as well. If you come Saturday, it gives us more time to get to know you. However, if you can only come Sunday, try your best to come close to 1pm.
We are willing to meet anyone 16 to 70. All roles are Inuit and you must be comfortable acting in English. We are casting a bunch of teenage roles, as well as a few adult men and women. We want to meet anyone interested in acting and filmmaking because we hope to make many films in and about the Arctic. If you aren't right for any parts in On the Ice, it's still worth coming because you might be right for a different film we want to make in the future.
Hope to see you this week! Feel free to email us any time if you have any questions at casting@ontheicethemovie.com.
