Summary
Episode 3: Ditching Leathers and Feathers with Darrell Dennis Darrell Dennis is a trailblazing veteran Secwépemc actor, comedian, and now– writer and director. Joel caught up with him on location in Cowichan Territory while they were filming Darrell’s new film, Sweet Summer Pow Wow in August. You’ll hear about Darrell’s very first job as the lead on a CBC teen drama at 17, his narrow escape from a possible Starlight Tour in Winnipeg, and how the casting category of “ethnically ambiguous” opened up new kinds of roles for him. From the old stereotypes of “leather and feather” roles, he is only now starting to see stories written, produced, acted, and directed by Indigenous people. Listen to Darrell’s plans for upcoming productions and be excited for the future of Indigenous film! TRANSCRIPT HERE Actors and Ancestors is created, hosted, and produced by Joel D.
