LLC’s long-planned documentary film project, Rising Voices, now has a highly respected production company involved in the effort Florentine Films/Hott Productions Inc.
The Lawrence Hott has thirty years of experience crafting award-winning films and series for PBS and international distribution. His enthusiasm and expertise give us confidence that Rising Voices will be completed and delivered to a far-reaching audience.
Last year saw the beginning of work on LLC’s documentary film project, Rising Voices, which will focus in-part on Lakota families rebuilding the language as a part of their daily lives, while also looking at Native language revitalization around the country. A grant from the Dakota Indian Foundation allowed us to work with Makoche Studios in Bismarck to shoot footage around and create a five-minute preliminary proof-of concept film.
The documentary project is still seeking Lakota families to participate in filming. We are looking for families (or other intergenerational caregiver-mentor arrangements) who are putting commitment and effort into recovering the language for their own daily and social use. Please contact LLC by e-mail if you are or know of such a family.
