Written and directed by Nyla Innuksuk, SLASH/BACK is set in Pangnirtung, Nunavut and tells the story of Maika (Tasiana Shirley) and her friends (Alexis Vincent-Wolfe, Chelsea Pruksy and Nalajoss Ellsworth). With school closed for summer, this sunlight-drenched part of the world settles in for a typical summer of fun. However, when an unknown presence threatens their hometown, the group must band together to ward off the alien threat. In this 1on1, we speak to Innuksuk about the joy of horror, working together with the kids and feelings of shame amongst the Indigenous peoples.
