Project Synopsis
Unsure of her place in the world, 15 year-old Eve spends her high school days drawing and losing track of time with her best friend Phoebe. When a long-passed hereditary chief of Eve’s family comes to visit her dreams, Eve begins to realize that she doesn’t need to have everything figured out.
Note from Director: Hi, my name is Grace and I am a member of the Fireweed Clan of the Gitxsan nation. As someone who did not know they were Indigenous until I was a teenager, this grad film is very special to me and I look forward to creating it with you! <3
