The cast and crew of Rez Ball at TIFF 2024.
The Big Picture Arriving on Netflix tomorrow, Rez Ball is a significant contemporary piece that is set in the beautiful Navajo Nation and pays tribute to the Native community. Helmed by Sydney Freeland,Rez Ball follows a down-on-their-luck basketball team, fronted by Kusem Goodwind's Nataanii Jackson, as they re-invent their entire approach to the game in hopes of a win.
For all of you guys, because again, no one has seen it yet, can you sort of talk a little bit about the character you play, and actually what drew you into the project? What was it about the script that said, I need to be in this? BRATT: Yeah, it was a roller coaster for sure. Luckily, I had Sydney Freeland and Amber Midthunder — all these really supportive pillars along the process. They all believed in me and urged me to keep on going. Luckily, I'm here talking to you, and I'm on this couch with all these beautiful people. It's really amazing.
There Will Be No "White Savior" in 'Rez Ball' "We don't wanna f--- with that." Sydney, one of the things that I love about the sports genre is that there are so many sports fans, and you are able to give them sports, but you're also able to shine a light on so many things that are not just about the basketball game.
Shooting on Navajo Nation Was More Than Location Close The other thing that's really cool is that you guys filmed on Navajo Nation in New Mexico, which obviously is great for the community. It shines a light, and it's great. Talk a little bit about being able to film there and, for all of you, what it meant to actually film there and how the community embraced you in telling this story.
Related 'Dark Winds' Season 3: Everything We Know So Far About Leaphorn and Chee's Next Chapter The story of Leaphorn and Chee is not over yet. FREELAND: One of the things, too, was we had a very contracted schedule. There were days when we were doing one, two, three location moves in a single day with an already truncated, abbreviated schedule. These guys showed up and they showed out. With such limited time, you come in, you're getting a couple of takes at most at something. For Devin and Kauchani, it was their first time ever on a film set. Jessica and Julia really helped mentor behind the scenes, as well.
