Reel Indigenous

Back to deadCenter for the next round of interviews! We mix it up with Icon Loren Waters, Tulsa filmmaker Keith Daniels, and fashion icon Peshawn Bread, who lays down the law about AI. And remember, narrative sovereignty is the goal! #sunrisen #filmfestival #indigenous

Actor, writer, director, producer, graphic designer, but funny? Let's find out this week when Tai Leclaire visits with us.
Fresh off King of the Hill, we talk Rutherford Falls (!), the Best Holiday of the Year (Halloween, duh) and his upcoming film Cheyenne!

Meegwun Fairbrother has come a long way from Butterhead to playing an Osage family man in the new Little House on the Prairie series dropping on July 9. Charles Ingalls just got a new neighbor!
He joins us this week to talk about working with Sydney Freeland, learning Osage, and his upcoming projects.

It's deadCenter 2026 Part 1 - The Reckoning!
First, we got Blake Pickens and Caleb Vesely, who worked with Brenda Fisher and Chief Marchand Rice to share Chief's story of his life sentence and his journey into reconnecting with his heritage in a moving documentary that won Best Indigenous Festure at dC2026.
Next, we got Josiah Jones, whose documentary short Stankface Standing Soldier follows DJ and Mato Wayuhi, known for his work on Reservation Dogs. It can be seen on PBS In the Making American Masters Short Docs online.

Spend the next hour with Noetta, Angela and Sunrise flying their geek flags as we discuss the different types of conventions, their own convention experiences, cosplaying and the importance of being Native in these spaces. What cons have you gone to?
