  • Red Man Laughing - Celebrating Taika Waititi
    Dec 21 2019

    In this episode of Red Man Laughing we stand on a pedastal and scream from the top of our lungs, "Taika Waititi is the Indigenous filmmaker of the decade in the eyes of Red Man Laughing." We replay Ryan's conversation with Indigenous Screen Office Executive Director, Jesse Wente, from S.8EP#8 where they break down Taika's impact on Hollywood, his longstanding relationship to Indigenous cinema and why Indigenous storytellers are the most exciting writers and creatives Hollywood has never heard of!
