John Hodgins's picture
I have been the Technical Director and technology project manager for IsumaTV since our launch in 2008. I've managed the growth of the site from a simple video blog to an interactive social networking and OTT VOD platform, as well as acting as lead developer for a variety of Isuma's digital projects. I've travelled extensively in the Canadian Arctic managing installation of IsumaTV MediaPlayers in Igloolik, Pangnirtuq and Iqaluit. More recently I've developed the technology behind Isuma's increasing (and exciting!) live video presence.See more

But when my mother broke taboo, I began struggling and kicking to get out through her navel, a sensitiveness that was a sign I should live to become a great shaman.… Read more

    After completing “Atanarjuat The Fast Runner,” set in the mythological past in a community whose balance of life had not changed for 4,000 years, Zacharias Kunuk and Norman Cohn chose to depict a series of events that took place in 1922, when Shamanism was replaced by Christianity – and the balance of life was changed forever.  Kunuk was inspired to make the film for “a first audience that… Read more
