“We are committed to inclusive, diverse casting. For every role, please submit qualified performers, without regard to age, sex, ethnicity, disability, race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis protected by law unless otherwise specifically indicated.” We also hope to receive auditions from Inuit with a wide range of skin tones, to reflect the true and diverse colours within our community.
Storyline
A young Inuk mother wants to build a new future for herself, but it won’t be easy in her small Arctic town where everyone knows your business.

From the Creators: This story comes from our perspectives and experiences as Inuit women and mothers - struggling to break free from intergenerational trauma and learning how to trust ourselves and our voices. It’s all the things we could never say out loud, until now. Welcome to the show our colonizers never knew they wanted. Stacey Aglok MacDonald & Alethea Arnaquq-Baril

Description
The character is a gay male, 29 yrs., Inuit. Colin has worked as the Communications Officer for the Community Centre for nearly ten years and is often heard in the radio booth, sharing humorous updates on the latest seal hunts and town gossip. Colin is bilingual (English-Inuktut), and kind-hearted soul with a wicked sense of humour. He lives with his boyfriend in a rare and highly sought after staff-house! He’s often very moved by Siaja’s journey, which opens up a lot of questions for him about what he wants (or doesn’t want) in life and love. Performers from the LGBTQI2S community are encouraged to submit. Non-optioned Series Regular.
