Filming
Filming began on March 17, 2015.[5] Images were released from the set on May 25, 2015.[6] The film's budget is $8.8 million. The filmmakers asked Iqaluit City Council to turn off street lights whilst they were filming because they did not want the orange hue that they gave off, instead wanting their own brighter, whiter lights. This involved manually disconnecting each lampost.[7]
