Kicking Off the Labrador Doc Project: Meet the Four Artists

The Labrador Doc Project has chosen four artists to produce documentaries.

The organizers say Nakummek to everyone who submitted story ideas.

And they greatly appreciate the effort that every applicant put into their submissions.

They reviewed 17 submissions with producers at the NFB, along with their co-producer at LJH Films, and a Labrador community member.

It was no easy task to make a selection, as there were many great submissions.

They are pleased to announce the acceptance of the following four submissions that are starting the development phase; production will start in the fall:

First artist Heather Campbell from Rigolet, with the idea of First Inuk Teacher.

Second artist is Jennie Williams from Nain, with the idea of Nalujuk Night.

Third artist Holly Andersen from Makkovik, with the idea of Hebron Relocation.

And the Fourth artist is Ossie Michelin from North West River, with the idea of Drum Dancers.
