100% of profits will go toward the costs of making the film: transporting and housing Native actors, feeding our crew, flying out our DP and producers, and paying for transportation and location fees. Your support of Happy Thanksgiving will go a long way. It will help us bring our film to the international festival circuit, and more importantly: we plan to create talks and workshops around it geared toward the empowerment of Native youth storytellers.
By screening the film and teaching workshops to Anishinaabe and Native communities around the country, on both reservations and urban communities, we hope to help inspire the next generation of Native youth to make their own content and become changemakers of the future.
Your support of Happy Thanksgiving will go a long way and proceeds will go toward making the film and supporting Native communities. Thank you!
