We are honoured to be this year’s winners of the Canadian Screen Award for Best Animated Short. We would like to extend our gratitude to the entire team that brought the project to life at Taqqut Productions and edFilms. In particular, we’d like to acknowledge the work of Beatrice Deer, the film’s vocalist and part of the score team, Solomon Awa, who gave our film a voice, and Jose Angutinngurniq, who shared the traditional story the film was based on. We are incredibly proud to be recording and sharing the stories and voices of the North. Thank you!
