KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · December 13, 2013

In the second of a two-part interview, Native American filmmaker Chris Eyre (Cheyenne and Arapaho) shares his vision of what goes into creating characters and stories for the cinema. “That’s what we’d have to do if we wanted to make our own native kind of period piece…like really re-examine what’s true and what’s not true.” Photographer JoAnn Verburg captures multiple focus points to see the subjects from a different perspective every time. “And I think art does that; art takes you places you didn’t mean to go.” Surviving a construction accident gave Gary Myers a new sensibility for color. He creates landscapes, not from places he has seen, but from his imagination. “The red tree is merely an invitation for people to come into the painting.”
