Feature film hits close to home

Feature film hits close to home.

Posted By LARA BRADLEY, THE SUDBURY STAR

It's day seven of 18 on the set of Every Emotion Costs.

Everyone's hanging out at Sugar's House, eating bannock and baloney, but emotions are rising

as her will is about to be read.

"There's one final fight. We've dubbed this as fight day," said director Darlene Naponse.

"It's about three sisters returning home to bury their mom. Unfortunately, they've had events that have pulled them apart," she said. "And so the film is really about them coming back to each other, them letting go of their mom and realizing the community has always been here."

Cables snake their way around a camp on Panache Lake; some are hooked to a generator in a tractor-trailer parked beside it, while others lay coiled, ready for action. Lightstands, mini-sandbags and screens look out of place in this forested setting.

Crew members dart in and out of the camp, passing through a curtain carrying

tools and lights, shouting and taking orders through their headsets until a woman yells "All quiet on set."

At this, everyone stops moving -- except the actors.

"This is the largest film in the northeast by northerners," said producer Joseph Mansourian, as we drive out to the film set.

Sincerely,

GREENJAH
