Cameras will roll in Prince Rupert, B.C., on Monday on a science-fiction film
shot entirely in the Tsilhqot'in language, which its director says will be the
first time an indigenous language has been used in the sci-fi/fantasy genre.

The film, whose title translates to Cave, will be directed by Tsilhqot'in
filmmaker Helen Haig-Brown and produced by Leena Minifie, a Tsimshian woman
originally from Prince Rupert, B.C.
