Sleeping Bear
Sleeping Bear is a short film based on an Anishinaabe legend from Northern Michigan. It began as my senior thesis film, and ended up as much more than that. I had the chance to work together with multiple tribal organizations and people from different Native American tribes to bring one of the most iconic legends of Northern Michigan to the big screen.
