The name of my character is Apak. The father and the uncle are both Shamans and my character was also a Shaman but wasn't known to be one because she didn't show it.
When did you start rehearsing?
We started in the beginning of March, and we rehearse weekdays 9-5.
My character's name is Urulu. I have read the script, but I'm still understanding my role. My character is a quiet person and she's also a Shaman. I'm doing a voiceover for the story that was either spoken or written for Knud Rasmussen.
Actually, I started ten years ago being a production assistant and
then production manager in the fiction industry in Copenhagen. Then I
applied to the National Film School of Denmark and I went there for
four years, so now I have the education for being a producer.
I didn't expect that much success. It was the first feature film in Inuktitut, by Inuit, and I was just aiming to see what mistakes we would make and learn from them. Apparently we didn’t make any!
How important is the community to make Isuma successful?
