| Qallunaat! (Why White People are Funny) is accepted at the Atlantic Film Festival | |  | I got word today that Qallunaat!

I will let you know the date of the screening as soon as I find out. | | | | | | Qallunaanik Piusiqsiuriniq to run again on APTN in September | | | Here's a second chance for people who missed Qallunaanik Piusiqsiuriniq the first time it ran on APTN. It's going to be on Voices of the Land, Thursday, September 7, 2006.
They're going to run it during the day at 11 PT, 12 MT, 1 CT, 2 ET and 3 AT.
Then again at night at 7 PT, 8 MT, 9 CT, 10 ET and 11 AT.
| | | | | | The Big Hellos gets a new name | | | It was hard to say goodbye to The Big Hellos. But the working title never quite conveyed what this comedy documentary was all about.
The light came on for me when I was talking with pitching guru, Jan Miller a few weeks ago. She asked me what I was working on these days and I said, "A film about why Inuit find white people funny."
"What's it called?"
"The Big Hellos."
"You should call it Why Inuit Find White People Funny."
Of course!
Of course not! It's too long. That's what everyone else said. So we tried to find a way to shorten it. What we finally settled on was:
Qallunaat! with the subtitle, Why White People are Funny.
This way people who are uncomfortable pronouncing "Qallunaat!" can just call it "Why White People are Funny".
It's a strange solution I know. But what isn't strange about this film?
