Roselynn Akulukjuk was raised in Pangnirtung, Nunavut. In 2012 Roselynn moved to Toronto to pursue a career in film and attended the Toronto Film  School, where she fell in love with being behind the camera. After her studies, Roselynn returned home to Nunavut, where she began working with Taqqut Productions, an Inuit- owned production company located in the capital of Nunavut, Iqaluit. Part of Roselynn’s love of filmmaking is the ability to interview elders, listen to their traditional stories and share them with the world. Roselynn has garnered international success with her short puppet film, The Owl and the Lemming (2016), a retelling of a traditional Inuit story.
