It took us a minute. Sunrise got sick, then was back on the festival circuit, but we finally got Matt and Sunrise to sit down for a bit and talk about the Sundance Film Festival and the few Indigenous movies they got to see.

They also talk about the short film, "Kicking the Clouds". A beautiful movie that you can watch here:

Also, here's a list of Indigenous film offerings at Sundance. If these movies play at a venue near you, please go see them:

The music, I guess, is canned music. Not sure where it came from, but it kinda jams, right?
