Ceremony Wins at SXSW S4E3
Q: What inspired the creation of the documentary, and how did the timeline unfold for SXSW?
The project began in 2014 with community leadership wanting a film to raise awareness about the Sput/Uligin and Indigenous revival; it took over a decade of production, with the world premiere at SXSW and plans for subsequent festival tours.
