Create Project: Tradition, Trauma and Tenderness

Dunkirk Memorial Park, Saturday, July 30, 2022, 1 pm to 3pm

The event will provide an opportunity for local community members, organizations, groups, families, and kids to appear in the film as they join in a Native American Social Dance Circle. There will be close-up shots and a drone photography shot from a bird’s-eye view.

The event will entail a short Native American social dance, in which all members of our community will be invited to participate. The dance and participants will be filmed for inclusion in the documentary. The dance will be videotaped by a videographer on the ground (Alex Simmons) and Warrior Flight Team (licensed drone pilots). There will also be some activities for children and their families as the “shot” is set up. Light refreshments (cookies and drinks) will be available for guests.

Organizations and groups will have the opportunity to hold up a sign identifying their group. Participating organizations and groups will also be able to have their names identified in the film credits.

What to expect at the event:

• Activities for kids while video shoot is being set up
• Light refreshments (water & treats)
• Wear bright clothing or “traditional dress” or colors from your own cultural heritage – for video
• Sun – wear sunscreen, hats, and other sun protection
• Open space, a few picnic tables will be provided, but best to bring your own chairs or blanket to sit on.

Model releases will be available at the event, for anyone, youth or adult, who wishes to appear in the film. These must be signed and submitted on the day of the event. When the film is complete, it will be made available for free to the public.
