I had the opportunity to direct and produce with One Bowl Productions, SACHEEN, BREAKING THE SILENCE. Rugged Entertainment helped with resources for SACHEEN as well Rugged's partner Richard Spero is one of the Executive Producers on SACHEEN.
We recently learned that SACHEEN is up for Oscar consideration in the Short Subject Documentary category! SACHEEN is only the second Native American documentary short to be considered for an Academy Award.
SACHEEN Trailer:
SACHEEN is a story of redemption and resilience, of pride and perseverance. Sacheen Littlefeather remains proud that she is the first person -- the first woman of color -- to utilize the Academy Awards as a platform to make a political statement. And now her own story, produced by One Bowl Productions has qualified for Oscar consideration.
Many of you receiving this email are film admirers. Sacheen is an amazing moment in film history. Her story is worth knowing. We cannot share the film with you now due to Academy rules, but please view the trailer and tell everyone that Sacheen is coming. If you know any Oscar Committee Documentary Members please urge them to see the film prior to February 5th voting.
Film Background
Marlon Brando, nominated for Best Actor in the Godfather, asked Sacheen Littlefeather, a 26-year-old White Mountain Apache actress to read a statement from him at the 1973 Oscars, broadcast for the first time to a global audience. Brando’s message highlighted the disparaging and unjust treatment of Native people in Film and Television. That That single moment tragically altered the rest of Sacheen’s life. As we revisit one of the most memorable and controversial moments in the history of the Academy Awards,, Sacheen’s voice will finally be joined together with today’s brave women, whose voices should be heard.
