 The massive critical success of "Atanarjuat" led to funding from Telefilm Canada, enabling Isuma to begin development on multiple scripts.One of these, "The Journals of Knud Rasmussen", about the switch from shamanism to Christianity in Igloolik in the early 1920s, received the offer to open the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006.In 2011, Isuma filed for receivership, citing $750,000 in debts, including $500,000 to Atuqtuarvik Corp. of Rankin Inlet.
