Directing

Sheshatshiu, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Reighlyn Penashue is from a small community called Sheshatshiu, Labrador. Reighlyn is very passionate about snapping memorable moments of the innu people, the land, the stories that come with it, and just the presence of being around the whole community. She has had an interest in photography, film making for the past 2 years with the teachings and skills from Heidi Atter. Reighlyn is a quick learner, and she really takes time to listen to people and understand what is it that’s needed from her. She’s very kind, and really challenges herself to try new things. She always gives her 110% in whatever project she is working on. I hope one day young kids look up to this very talented Innu girl from Sheshatshiu.
