Not a surprise for the team who worked on the "Iroquois Creation Story" — we all knew it would do well at festivals — but ICS won the Native American category at the COPA Shorts Film Festival this past weekend! The film was a collaborative effort of the Ganondagan Historic Site and a team of great film professionals and student animators. A big congrats to the entire team!
I thoroughly enjoyed the film scoring process, from spotting session to final dubbing session, and am proud of the result. The score was orchestral with added Native American wood flutes and the short's narrator, Grammy Award winning Joanne Shenandoah, sang the final song over the credits. I'm also proud to say the music score won a "Best Music" award at a previous festival, the Native American Indian Film Festival of the Southeast.
If you're in the area of Victor NY, home of Ganondagan, be sure to screen the Iroquois Creation Story in it's permanent home, in a dedicated Orientation Theater, inside the museum. I've not seen it there myself (yet) but I hear it's a great way to experience this beautiful film! Congrats again to the entire ICS cast and crew!
