Production Assistant
Five hundred miles north of Vancouver is Kitamaat, an Indian reservation in the homeland of the Haisla people. Growing up a tough, wild tomboy, swimming, fighting, and fishing in a remote village where the land slips into the green ocean on the edge of the world, Lisamarie has always been different. Visited by ghosts and shapeshifters, tormented by premonitions, she can't escape the sense that something terrible is waiting for her. She recounts her enchanted yet scarred life as she journeys in her speedboat up the frigid waters of the Douglas Channel. She is searching for her brother, dead by drowning, and in her own way running as fast as she can toward danger. Circling her brother's tragic death are the remarkable characters that make up her family: Lisamarie's parents, struggling to join their Haisla heritage with Western ways; Uncle Mick, a Native rights activist and devoted Elvis fan; and the headstrong Ma-ma-oo (Haisla for "grandmother"), a guardian of tradition.
Third Assistant Director
Pen y Jason, que no se ven desde el Instituto, vuelven a encontrarse gracias a un plan de sus respectivas abuelas, que los creen predestinados a estar juntos, como lo estuvieron desde la infancia. Cuando descubren las intenciones casamenteras de las abuelas, fingen que reanudan la relación, y así darse tiempo a solucionar sus problemas presentes: Pen, para terminar de corregir los borradores de su futuro libro, y Jason, para recuperarse de una ruptura sentimental. Durante el período de simulación, Pen y Jason van desgranando las causas del final de su romance, ajenos a que esta oportunidad de volver a conocerse forma parte del plan trazado por Dot y Josie, las abuelas.
