FRYBREAD FACE AND ME
An Billy Luther Film | A Chad Buress Production
Two adolescent Navajo cousins from different worlds bond during a summer herding sheep on
their grandmother's ranch in Arizona while learning more about their family's past and
themselves.
REZINBABE
Rezinbabe is debuting a 3-part anthology series highlighting Two Spirit, Blackfoot, and Rez dog models living their real lives while wearing porcupine medicine 2 go quillwork jewellery. This jewellery was birthed from the declaration on the rights of Indigenous people and the framework that opened the doors for us to practice our culture without legal repercussions. However, many of us are still under threat, banning medicine in spaces such as workplaces, homes, and other colonial constructs. This jewellery allows for each person to wear their medicine for protection while the resin protects the medicine itself.
Xakái
This experimental short film symbolically entails the introspection of finding the light within to not only survive, but also thrive; especially in times of chaos.
