Profile

maia iotzova's picture
I am a visual artist and a filmmaker, who has been working with Kingulliit productions since 2015 and with Arnait since 2012. Originally from Bulgaria, I have brought my own intercultural experience to my work with Inuit. Inspired by Kingulliit’s style, which prioritizes the power of the human experience, I have worked in the post production section of Kingulliit helping to bring that style to life through editing, and post production supervision. I helped train Inuit in video editing and have been instrumental in implementing a North-South editing system, which gives our Northern editors liberty and support. I also bring my artistic experience to various projects of Kingulliit. I contributed to the Time Machine comic stories, and am currently leading the interactive map project “On The Land with Noah Piugattuk”.See more
