Those familiar with this blog will be familiar with my various posts highlighting the Indigenous Iditarod dog musher, and first out trans woman to run the Iditarod, Apayauq. Those posts are still amongst my most popular and continually reblogged posts, they really seem to resonate with a lot of people.

During Apayauq's most recent Iditarod, where she came in last and took the Red Lantern, a documentary by Zeppelin Zeerip was made. I've been closely watching the documentary's success on the film festival market and not only has it recently won Best Indigenous Short at BENDFilm, but APAYAUQ has been nominated for an Academy Award!

This is huge news!

I never have much luck with promoting on here, but it’s worth a shot.

Míyaxwe, my name is Gabz Norte and I’m a Cahuilla and Cupeño filmmaker and av archivist. I’m making a film combining my family’s Super 8 home movies from the 1970s with footage I will also be shooting on Super 8 film. This is a hybrid project for me, creating a film and also preserving and caring for my family’s films while creating an archive. Many of these films are records of reservation life and Indigenous familial experience and I strongly believe they need to be seen.

As you may imagine, this is a costly endeavor and I’m trying to raise money to make this goal happen. I talk a little more about the details in the video in the link.

Shares are greatly appreciated. Á•čama!

Adult science fiction standalone novel

In near-future America, struggling documentary filmmaker Hayes Figuerido learns that an alternate version of himself from a parallel universe created the Envisioner, a device that can predict the future, and sent it to his reality

When he joins a team of scientists studying the Envisioner, Hayes meets physicist Yusuf and learns the two of them are married in another universe and finds himself falling for Yusuf in this one

As Hayes learns more about the multiverse, however, it becomes clear that while their lives are inextricably linked, their story often ends in tragedy and saving Yusuf could risk the univerise

Explores multiverse theory and questions of how far you will go to save the one you love

Gay main character with depression; Egyptian, Muslim love interest; M/M romance; aromantic asexual Japanese side character

#ooh i read this one a while ago let me try to remember what i thought #i think the first third or so when they're just studying the envisioner and yusuf and hayes are falling in love is a bit slow #enjoyed the multiverse-hopping stuff #some of the filmmaker stuff like envisioning the world as a script got a little tedious #well fleshed-out protagonist who feels very realistic and flawed #also i liked yusuf #i have seen at least one review by an autistic reader saying they read him as autistic #the aroace representation felt a little questionable to me because the character in question is very cold/calculating? #didn't expect that there would be so much world-building around the near-future america setting which was interesting #like androids being common and also an indigenous sovereign state #also there's one world with a movie crew stuck on the moon that i thought was super interesting #the alternate realities are all cool #okay BIG SPOILERS NOW #i was kind of unconvinced by the ending #basically the main character is given the choice between saving yusuf's life and letting an asteroid destroy earth in another reality #he picks yusuf and it like 'now to compartmentalize my horrific guilt and live happily with him' #and i was like. bro. you are going to be eaten alive by guilt in a few years #i don't know i wasn't convinced by it!! #would love to hear thoughts from someone else who has also read this book tbh #a fractured infinity #nathan tavares #2023 reads #books #lulu reads a fractured infinity #lulu speaks #lulu reads

Ugh, #FreeformApp you are amazing. Such a simple little FREE thing that makes me horny. I love planning, I love creating, I love organization. I saw this app a few months ago in a YouTube video & was so excited only to realize I needed the newest iOS in order to utilize it. I don’t update frequently because I’m always using my devices so I had to wait. Since then I’ve been toying around with it and now I’m using it in the way I want to before I put it into use the way I’m going to use it. So far my little every day carry vision board is coming along well. I may put one more project into it or expand this one further I’m not sure yet but I can see exactly what my creative process wants to see and I can’t express how much I think everyone who has an iPad and the latest iOS should try this. It makes my brain happy. . . . . . . . #iamodmk #blogger #socialmedia #ios #apple #gay #lgbt #twospirit #indigenous #Cree #filmmaker #writer #organizationideas #cool #love #like #follow (at Treaty No. 6 Territory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CocSbedAozR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

sorry to say it but people trying SO HARD to get these crazy talented, highly acclaimed directors to mention taylor swift or start a dialogue about her as a director (which..... pls tell me when have we literally ever put music video directors and musicians directing their own mvs on the same level as film directors????) are only making themselves look stupid at this point. this kind of reverence for celebrities (read: singers) is why harry styles thinks he can act or talk about filmmaking like he knows literally anything at all. they all have nothing to say because no, darren aronofsky did not watch all too well. of course he's going to ignore that question. why are you even asking him that.

#and u know what! i study filmmaking and media! i understand the different approaches to directing in various mediums! #i respect mv directors and editors !! but like can we pls get real!!! #it's embarrassing ! #sorry to swifties i have people in my life that love her and i will never be mean about that but this is getting ridiculous #i NEEDED to say this omg #she did NOT need to be here for tiff and tbh i think her being included at all has overshadowed #a whole lot of indie and indigenous filmmakers that really needed the support and STILL do #im not even gonna tag her bc like her fans are actually insane when you say ONE thing about her #tiff 2022 #the whale #darren aronofsky #sammy.txt

The film features Tracy, an Indigenous woman played by Roseanne Supernault, an actor from Whitefish River Atikameg First Nation in Alberta.

Tracy and her dog Pretzel embark on a 12-hour car ride so she can try to reach her remote home in the Northwest Territories in time to see her mother before she passes into the spirit world following a stroke.

Along the journey Tracy must fight for her own life when she realizes she is being chased and hunted by a truck driver.

Cold Road begins its theatrical run in independent theatres across Canada on Jan. 26. The film will be shown in Redvers’ hometown of Hay River, N.W.T.

It will also start screening that day in the Nunavut capital Iqaluit, the Yukon capital Yellowknife, as well as a pair of Alberta cities, Red Deer and Lethbridge.

Cold Road will then start playing in six other theatres throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan on Feb. 2.

AUSTRALIAN FILMMAKER MARA JEAN QUINN LOOKS FORWARD TO RELEASING HER UPCOMING FEATURE FILM "ANDAMOOKA" AROUND THE WORLD

Being an Aussie stuck thousands of miles away from home, I’m always excited to discover music, films, tv shows, literature and art from Down Under, thanks to YouTube, Vimeo and other platforms. After my two-month odyssey trekking around the outback and the big cities last year, I’m even more passionate about arts and entertainment coming out of Australia. There’s a wealth of independent…

As Indigenous woman filmmakers, we knew that our path through the industry would be narrow and that our film, Fancy Dance, would have a small window for success based on the abysmal record of representation for Indigenous folx in Hollywood. As such, we channeled our collective wills as granddaughters of Dust Bowl survivors, descendants of genocide and avowed followers of the indomitable Merata Mita to give this film the best shot possible. If there existed a “how to make a successful movie in Hollywood” checklist, we followed it to a tee. Step one: Create a compelling script (after her sister’s disappearance, a hustler kidnaps her niece from the child’s white grandparents and takes her to the state powwow in hopes of keeping what’s left of her family intact) – check. Step two: Find top-tier producing partners (Nina Yang Bongiovi, Tommy Oliver) – check. Step three: Cast amazing actors at the top of their field (soon-to-be Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone) – check. Step four: Premiere and screen at world-renowned festivals (Sundance, SXSW, BFI London) – check. Step five: Receive excellent reviews (THR called it “exceptional”) and festival prizes (Hamptons, L.A. Outfest, Mill Valley, NewFest, Sun Valley, Tacoma) – check. Step six: Get a distribution deal – …crickets.

#i am SOOOOO glad someone let erica write about this because it is the most fucked up thing i've seen ALL YEAR #one of the best films of the year and after all the KOTFM love (ugh) this gets CRICKETS? NOTHING? fuck y'all
