We follow a nameless Indian man meandering through the American Southwest encountering a cast of colorful character. A vision of a ghost\, a foul mouthed aunty\, and a thieving juggalo\, of which are standing in the way of our Head-man dancer and his penultimate goal. Hallucinations and haunting psychedelic sounds and images reflect our man’s mental state in this off the wall comedy crescendoing in the final battle between our protagonist and juggalo. Thankfully good triumphs over evil in this morality tale leaving us with the timeless message\, “tradition becomes our security\, and when the mind is secure in its decay\,” albeit that tradition be frybread and indigenous survivance. \nCOTANKA CALLING (26 min.)\nWritten & Directed by Jacob R. Pratt. Produced by Jacob R. Pratt\, Jenifer Brousseau\, and Sarah Kelly.\nA young man and woman are brought together and have an instant connection. From a distance they are naturally draw towards each other. In this film they live out their love story in two different timelines\, or two different life times. The young man uses the Native American flute as a means of demonstrating his love and calling to the beautiful woman that he saw. The world around them will have a deep impact on their ability to connect. We will see how the modern world has impacted one of our traditional practices and our ability to connect to each other in a natural way. The modern world can create barriers that otherwise would not exist. \nELLAY (25 min.)\nDirected by Cruz-William Castillo. Written by Keenan Duke. Produced by Cruz Castillo.\nIt’s expensive to be poor in LA\, especially when you’re an out-of-work actor. Broke\, alone\, and trying to navigate a busy city\, Aidan is finally offered the best role of his life. But at what cost? \nSTRIPPER (14 min.)\nDirected by Anthony Sneed. Written by Anthony Sneed and Chris Thompson. Produced by Tiffany Conklin\, Thomas Hartman\, Anthony Sneed\, and Zane Kalnina.\nWhen 13-year-old Cricket walks past the local strip club with his friends\, nothing can prepare him for who they see walking into work: his mom. With rumors starting to spread\, Cricket must take matters into his own hands to clear his mom’s name and prove that she isn’t a stripper. \nTHE DAILY LIFE OF MISTRESS RED (11 min.)\nWritten & Directed by Peshawn Rae Bread. Produced by Jhane Myers\, Jennifer Reeder\, and Michael D Jones.\nThe Daily Life of Mistress Red is a mockumentary that explores the world of kink\, native women and defeating white supremacy on one’s own terms.

Taylor\, a blogger who is excited to meet Marie is suddenly surprised by Mistress Red.
