Gary Farmer

She's representing a Great Lakes area Ojibwe person, of which she is.

And the Jesuit priest is played by the famous, actually Native American actor, Gary Farmer.

and we're speaking to the villains in our own stories, where we were actually left out of those narratives, where we're absent in those narratives during film genres like film noir, but how much presence we actually had and what our stories might look like if we were included in the imagination and in the creative.

You have some images that clearly, you know, look at existing images, whether it's The Last Supper or kind of the cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road album.

Not the same thing whatsoever.

There's actually some like homage to the greats, the West duties and the Gary Farmers.

You know, Dallas Goldtooth is, you know, the ridiculous spirit who kind of like is in and out of every episode.

And so there is kind of a loving homage and a commentary about.

No one feeds it this morning.

Shout out to Gary Farmer, by the way, who was the voice of that grandfather.

And it, it was during the state fair when I was able to talk with actor Gary Farmer, who is beloved for all of his work.

It was fantastic.

And Gary Farmer came in, and we actually recorded Gary Farmer to be on the podcast, but unfortunately, we had some technical issues, and we weren't able to save the audio from, from that, uh, appearance.

So Gary Farmer was-- could've had a second episode on here, but due to, um, the gremlins in the machine, uh, it didn't happen, so...

And I would say that was a level of exhaustion that kept me away for a bit, uh, to, to coming back to that.

Any which way, it's been a summer of work.

So I know we're broadcasting in New York City and in Washington, D.C., but if you happen to be in the Buffalo area between October 8th and the 15th, which is when the Buffalo International Film Festival runs, stop in.

I mean, they're doing a Lifetime Achievement Award for Gary Farmer on the 10th.

And our film is screening on the 12th.

So if you're looking for something to do on Indigenous Peoples Day, and you happen to be in Buffalo, and no matter where you are, you can search on my social media pages, including my YouTube page, which is Let's Talk Native TV, and you can find excerpts of the film.
