Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

deadCenter 2: Loren, Walter, Peshawn S4E10
Q: What is narrative sovereignty, and why is funding so critical to achieving it?
Narrative sovereignty means Indigenous communities controlling the creation, distribution, and framing of their stories; funding is the backbone that enables development, production, and access to markets, allowing these stories to reach audiences without external gatekeeping.
deadCenter 2: Loren, Walter, Peshawn S4E10
Q: Why did you choose Indigenous House as a focal point for your advocacy and production efforts?
Indigenous House represents a concerted effort to create self-sustaining infrastructure for Indigenous storytelling, including branding, distribution, and community engagement; it aims to diversify funding sources and empower Indigenous creators to tell their own stories with agency.
Ceremony Wins at SXSW S4E3
Q: How did language and culture influence the filmmaking process?
Language learning and cultural consultation were central; animatics and recordings required language experts, and the project used Nuxalk language to ground authentic storytelling while the radio station project supported ongoing language renewal.
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.
Graham Greene - A Tribute S4E19
Q: What would you suggest for anybody who wants to get started on his career?
Start with 'Dances with Wolves', 'Thunderheart', and 'Reservation Dogs', and if you can find 'Christmas in the Clouds', that's also worth watching.
