Lily Gladstone Instagram – FANCY DANCE LOVE INCOMING!!! SEE IT THIS WEEKEND IN LA AND TULSA!!!
On this historic day in the entertainment industry, I am SO proud to be a member of SAG-AFTRA and to stand in shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity with the Writer’s Guild of America. Since we have until 2401 PST before the masks come off (get it? đźŽ), I’m taking the precious time left to give a bellowing shout out to the up&down beat of my creative heart; this perfect indie feature that I am so excited will be shared with audiences again this weekend!
After premiering to much love at Sundance Film Festival this year, Erica Tremblay’s FANCY DANCE will be playing this Saturday July 15th at BOTH the iconic @outfest in Los Angeles as their US Centerpiece Film (7:15pm at Directors Guild of America, Theater 1) AND in Tulsa Oklahoma (5pm Circle Cinema Screen 1 @circlecinema )
Making this film with Erica and Miciana was among the greatest experiences of my life. Getting to play Jax’s cunning strength, immense resilience and deep commitment to their niece and sister expanded my capacity as a performer and as a human being. I have never been more grateful to be an actor and storyteller as I was working with this team and telling this story of matriarchal love, and how it withstands the ugliest facets of colonization to keep our families and communities strong.
The caliber of talent in this film is stunning, in front and behind the camera, and was told with the kind of love and community you can only truly get in Independent film.
Thank you to every soul that poured it all into making FANCY DANCE, and especially to the incredible young woman sitting shotgun, Isabel Deroy-Olson. Your Roki was the cheese on the fries, the sprinkles on the cake, the stars in the sky. I know I just played your screen auntie, but I’m afraid you may be stuck with me for real now. Sorry, kiddo.
If you get a chance, check out our beautiful film, it’s a rare one that deserves to be seen 💜 | Posted on 14/Jul/2023 07:08:15
