MUST SEE! A Good Indian Screening in Fort Frances

I will be screening my latest short A Good Indian at the 2010 Women's Health Symposium in Fort Frances May 8th, 2010 10:00am at Townshend Theatre. This will be the first, if not last major screening of the film in the area. I will also be speaking on film-making, and touching on the themes of A Good Indian.
Given the recent events of the town, the racial themes and undertones of the film are relevant and timely.
This is an exciting opportunity, and I'm grateful that the organizers invited me to the symposium. Hope to see you there!
What Happened to the Stupid White Indian?

What happened to Stupid White Indian?
A couple of years ago I started researching and shooting a documentary project called "Stupid White Indian." I still often get asked about the project. To my surprise, word spread quick throughout the aboriginal community after only a little bit of vlogging and press on the project. Now, with the release of "A Good Indian," people often ask if this is indeed the project I set out to accomplish.
Short answer... no.
I pulled back the reins on Stupid White Indian for multiple reasons. Funding, timing, and a lack of resources prompted me to cut the cord on the project. I still have plans to eventual produce Stupid White Indian, but I'm vowing to exercise patience to ensure the project plays out exactly how I envision.
Stupid White Indian is a documentary project about Canadian society's perception of First Nation, Metis, Inuit, and non-Status people. The title refers to myself. "A Good Indian" plays on much of the themes of Stupid White Indian, and was actually came from an idea of a re-enactment that was going to be a part of Stupid White Indian.
I still get comments every week from the Vlog, some interesting, some ignorant, and some entertaining. There's definitely proof of public interest to watch something like this, and one day I plan to bring it to masses in a big way.

A Good Indian has been submitted to the Babelgum Online Film Festival! There's a great collection of films over at Babelgum.com. I encourage you to check out the films.... but also be sure to watch, rate, and favourite A Good Indian!
Just a little background on the film. I (Andrew George) wrote, directed, and produced the 8 minute short and it was completed in early 2010. We shot it in Fort Frances, with the majority of the cast and crew from the Rainy River District. We're hoping to crack a few festivals this year both online and traditional.
