I've been in a HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT (1937) trance ever since I rewatched it days ago. Something hit different, I can’t get over it. No choice but to make a video and channel my obsession into something worthwhile. #FrankBorzage

#IyarheNakoda women did not appear in early films shot at #MiniThni reserve in #Alberta by #FrankBorzage. Elders in #StoneyFilmProject said they were uncomfortable with cameras until around 1924, when 250 Nakoda with women & children were in #TheAlaskan, shot by #JamesWongHowe. 🎥 #moviesky #filmsky

“Life can’t be any bigger than he is. Because he is life, isn’t he? And we created him, didn’t we? We created life. So why should we be afraid of it?”
