Read the Mar. 3, 2008 article in The Desert Sun, which includes excerpts from the following Q&A about the director's film, Water Flowing Together.
• Is this your first film? Why did you decide to move from photography to film?
This is indeed my first film. The move from photography to film was a very natural one for me. I was drawn to film because I wanted to be able to tell a story at more length, in more depth, to work with music, and, importantly, to allow people to speak for themselves.
• How did you find this story?
Jock and I became friends when I photographed him for my book, Indian Country. A few years later he asked me to make the film. I accepted his invitation because I knew that his exceptional story would make a very inspiring film.
I'm delighted to be a part of this festival. It's important that the film travels to Native film festivals.
• Why is it important that your film be included in the Festival of Native Film & Culture?
