The Food is Belonging Event was hosted by TakingITGlobal and Arctic College as part of Global Dignity 2015 Celebrations.

I discuss what is unique to Inuit filmmaking such as the small crew size and the consultation with the elders throughout the process.

I explain how I come up with an idea and the importance of exploring a subject in depth from all angles, like a detective.  

I share some of my interview techniques: being clear with people why I am filming this story;  asking the same questions to all the people I interview; filming beauty and action shots to edit with the interviews.
