This project documents how Inuit dogsledders in Iqaluit are using Starlink satellite internet to stay connected while traveling across the Arctic sea ice. The shoot captures the intersection of traditional practices and cutting-edge technology, highlighting how connectivity supports navigation, safety, and storytelling in one of the planet’s most remote regions. Production took place in extreme Arctic conditions, requiring careful planning and logistics. The team operated cameras and drones in sub-zero temperatures, managed power and data equipment in freezing environments, and coordinated transportation using snowmobiles and traditional sleds across unstable sea ice. Every aspect—from safety protocols to equipment handling—was designed to adapt to the unique challenges of shooting in the High North. The result is an intimate and visually striking portrayal of resilience, innovation, and the evolving relationship between Indigenous communities and modern technology.
