Using Photography and Film to Tell Untold Stories With Talor Stone and Ashlei Payne

Episode 47: Today I sit down with Arctic specialist and photographer, Talor Stone, and award-winning filmmaker, Ashlei Payne, to chat about:

Their individual paths, experiences, and stories that have led them to collaborate on an impactful conservation project in Greenland
How to develop a film and photography project from initial inspiration and story idea into reality
How science and art can come together to create stories with global impact
The details of their forthcoming documentary project, which will follow the small indigenous hunting community of Siorapaluk as they navigate contemporary challenges to their way of life and push the limits of community adaptation and cultural resilience
The ethical approaches Talor and Ashlei are taking on their documentary project, including:
- Immersing themselves into the culture with community consent and building trust with the community before even picking up a camera
- Ensuring that a fair wage is paid to local workers assisting them with the documentary
- Providing a permanent archive of their recorded interviews in the traditional language of Inuktun - a critically endangered language with fewer than 700 speakers remaining
- How you can support their Kickstarter Campaign
