Casting call extended for Aboriginal documentary series
A new documentary taking First Nation, Inuit and Metis men and women on a 21-day adventure is looking for more participants.
Each day, actors on Merchants of the Wild will learn how to make clothing, prepare food and navigate by the stars under the instruction of Oji-Cree elders.
“We want to try and help people reconnect with their culture,” director Daniel Fortin said.
The casting call is open for any First Nation, Inuit or Metis person age 18 to 34. Acting experience isn’t required “just a desire to learn to live out in the wild in Ontario and the Indigenous culture of Canada,” Fortin said.
