Flying With Red Haircrow

FILMING HAS RESTARTED FOR ALMOST! WE ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING PARTICIPANTS, SO PLEASE  APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ALMOST was first developed to be a short #documentary film with unique animated storytelling and live scenes, which it still will be, but additionally, I will create a #webseries where episodes feature participants who wish to further share their journey. Other components, such as the spider symbolism will also be explained further, as the web series will supplement and expand the main documentary’s themes and topics.

Description: Focusing on the intersection of realities, identities and Indigeneity, and the concept of being enough, no matter what or who you are.

“Almost normal.
Almost acceptable.
Almost Indigenous.

Half, a quarter, a fraction, a piece.
Gender, sexuality, ethnicity, cognitive or physical dis-/abilities.
Toxic beliefs, ableist and racist structures in society continue to harm.

Some are embracing their differences in order to heal…and they’re connecting.”

PARTICIPANTS WILL NEED TO BE:

1) Over the age of 18 at the time of filming
2) Be willing to sign an agreement for use of their likeness and footage in this project
3) Have an understanding Indigenous and original peoples exist across the world, including Europe, but priority will be given to those connected to or reconnecting to their cultures

Please view the trailer here or on Vimeo, and read through the information currently available on this website, such as the story, the spider and the director’s pages. Red Haircrow, who was awarded the 2023  Ma’’ingan Scholarship for their work as an early career psychologist in gender expansive support and research, has their personal website also, which can be found here https://redhaircrow.com/.
