Explained simply
CAA is a talent agency that represents people working in film and television, helping them find work and negotiate deals. Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril are Inuit filmmakers based in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut in northern Canada; they founded the production company Red Marrow Media.
The pair created and ran North of North, a comedy series set in the Canadian Arctic. Inuit stories and perspectives have often had limited visibility in film and television, so the show’s reach has drawn attention to their work and to Indigenous-led production. Representation by a major agency can connect filmmakers with opportunities across the wider industry.
