1) We got another film rejection for @MTAWdocumentary for a bigger film festival. We have been successful in almost every Native festival and festivals that reserve space for Native films. I understand that we cannot be accepted into every festival, we're noticing some themes.
2) Our feedback for one festival was,"I wanted to hear more Native voices on the mascot issue. And see more of the beautiful culture." Natives have been voicing our opinions on the mascot issue since the 1960s and remain ignored. Sometimes it just seems like we can't win.
3) Film festivals want Poverty Porn. A majority of these festivals are run by people who envision Natives as either in the past or as poor Indians who need white filmmakers to save them.

Do not breathe life into that hate!

Do not further that which divides us!

I implore you to #EmbraceLove...

Thank you @jordanbpeterson

Let me preface this by saying I enjoy writing. This is something I put together to start dialogues.

FYC:
There is a man, you all know him: He's the one that makes outrageous claims: #ChemTrails, #QAnon, #FalseFlags, #2A. He occasionally calls #FakeNews out on their BS, or posts a meme, or a #TruthBomb. He's cautions but does the same in real life... Many just filter and ignore.
2) But try being in his shoes for a moment. He watches as people go about their daily lives. He sees a mother in his neighbor hood walking their kids to school. He knows their names. He’s watched them all grow up. They’re not the only ones, but the ones with whom he is most..
