Longtime indie filmmakers Danis Goulet and Blackhorse Lowe discuss their work on 'Reservation Dogs' and how the series bolstered Native American representation onscreen and behind the camera.
The filmmaker has capitalized on several opportunities created by Sundance, first after short ‘Little Chief’ and now after feature ‘Fancy Dance.’You’ve worked on what I think of as “uncle episodes,” where the focus is on some of the elders like Uncle Brownie. What was it like for you to get to explore their backstor: It was great, especially when I saw that it was like a full on ‘70s episode and inspired by “Dazed and Confused” and all those other films. I just immediately took to the material.
Obviously, for Episode 3, it got heavy at times because you can’t touch on something that big without having to go to a place of just quiet and really honoring what happened and also trying to hold the space that the actors are trying to work in when they’re trying to portray really difficult things. And I feel like that episode in particular, everyone mobilized.
In terms of the episodes, there’s always particular things that I really get a kick out of, either working with the actors or finding some new technique to apply to whatever story it is I’m telling. Like, I mostly get the psychedelic episodes, but because of that I also get the emotional breaks.
