Quote from Stacey Aglok MacDonald (Creator, Executive Producer):
“While these stories are all fictional, a lot of them come from grains of truth in our lives. It feels like we’re opening up our diary to the world, which is scary but also incredibly cathartic.”
Quote from Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (Creator, Executive Producer):
“The best part about this job is trying to paint a true picture of humanity through comedy – because sometimes the most beautiful and powerful illustrations of that come when we are at our most ridiculous and raw. It’s really exciting to be able to take the deep work that we have been doing in our Indigenous community for many years, and bring our life experiences as modern Inuit to the global stage.”
Quote from Anna Lambe (Star):
“With this character, I saw a story that I was familiar with, about so many people that I grew up with. That drove me to want to be a part of telling this story, to go through all of Siaja’s layers and unpack why she is how she is.”
