11m
"AWAKENING" is a short film about an elderly woman (Louise Katchia) who hopes to restore her assimilated grandson's connection to their culture. Nathan (Solomon Trimble) is unwillingly sent to see a Shaman (Foster Kalama) in the cold backwoods of the Warm Springs Indian reservation. Immediately placed into a ceremony circle, Nathan is put into a trance on a spiritual quest to face his inner Native American as his modern self. Facing the unknown, Nathan overcomes his fear in an ultimate test of survival, fighting a violent cultural force within. Ultimately defeating the unknown, he becomes the inner Native American and restores his connection to his culture and faith.
