The Intrepid Inuit

The first film featuring our intrepid Inuit will center on the ill-fated John Franklin expedition to find the north west passage. The story will concern our hero coming across the remains of the Erebus and members of the crew. Sir John Franklin and 128 crew members aboard the ships Terror and Erebus were lost with only gravesites and a number of artifacts found by numerous search parties. For further details check out the PBS documentary airing this Tuesday Feb 28th 8-10 p.m. and their website at :

Spirit of the Inukshuk




















The armature was used for the completed puppet shown in concept shot. Some test footage will be shot and submitted to http://www.stopmoshorts.com/ as a work in progress. The theme of the film will be based on the Inuit myth of Kivioq the Wanderer.

Included is a close-up of the Inuit character.
