Toronto Premiere
For many in the Far North, the local radio station is a vital source of information, entertainment and companionship. From wolf sightings to bingo games, the talent behind the community-run CBQM radio station embodies the heart of the Teetl’it Gwitch’in community of Fort McPherson, NWT. This gentle documentary goes behind the scenes of the “Biggest Little Radio Station in the North” to reveal a loving portrait of small-town life.
A young girl’s dreams are haunted by a looming fate in this exquisitely crafted portrayal of an historical tragedy. Marilyn Thomas is a Vancouver-based screenwriter and producer with over eight years experience working in film, television and new media. She is currently producing a children’s animated webisode series entitled “The Adventures of Little Jake and Many Skies” for APTN.

Dennis Allen (Inuvialuit) hails from Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. He has worked on the popular TV series “North of 60” and has screened his independent film Someplace Better at the Sundance Film Festival.
