I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.

There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

Cliff Curtis: Te Urewera raid inspired film, Muru

Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis is a critically acclaimed Hollywood actor with a string of starring roles working with A-list directors and performers. But his heart is with the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand. The latest is Muru, a fictional action thriller whose story begins with the 2007 real-life, so-called 'anti-terror' police raids in a remote township in Te Urewera. Cliff Curtis is a co-producer, and actor in Muru and plays a community police officer caught in the middle of the unfolding events. The film also features Tame Iti, a police target for arrest in the 2007 raids, as himself. Curtis' roles in NZ made productions stretch back to the early 90's, including Desperate Remedies, Once Were Warriors and Whale Rider.
