Haunted by the past, siblings Mise’l and Antle are destined to reunite and join forces against a dark spirit that emerges from their shared childhood. Once inseparable, their fractured relationship set by years of silence and a violent episode rooted in homophobia, is tested as they must return to Sk+te’kmujue’kati (the Place of Ghosts) a forest steeped in ancestral memory where time bends. What initiates from trauma soon transforms into an odyssey of healing, as Mise’l and Antle confront their caretaker’s cruelty, the weight of family secrets, and their own deepest fears.

00:08Filming in the forest was an absolute treat. I love nature. I love being able to be in that world.
00:15It doesn't really feel like acting in a way because we were there. And yeah, I mean, I just
00:20felt like it was so easy to access the world. Filming in the Nova Scotian wilderness was
00:27incredible and made it very easy to act because we were just in it.
00:39Yeah, a scene in the film that's especially meaningful and transformative to me is our first meeting after years of
00:46not being able to meet.
00:47I just found that day absolutely rewarding, reinvigorating, and it just sets up the tone for the rest of the
00:56film.
00:58The moment in Skidega Mujuwegedi that's meaningful to me is meeting my daughter for the first time as she's grown
01:10older.
01:11And that moment for me was extremely cathartic and made me kind of sad.
01:15So, yeah, that's the moment.
01:21The most important message I hope that folks take away from Miseel is a better understanding of their own identity,
01:28of their own inner strength, how they relate to others.
01:31And especially if there's people out there who don't fit the gender binary, members of the queer community,
01:36you know, I want it to reassure them that you do belong here, you are seen, and your stories matter.
01:43And I hope people take from On Delay that it's so important to listen, to be empathetic,
01:50and to process things in your life that have happened that maybe make you uncomfortable,
01:56and to show empathy for not only others, but for yourself.
02:01Well, that's what I thought you knew little than I have to have worked in,
02:01And a little micro, it's creepy.
02:01I feel like we have where you're at most of often.
