'Fancy Dance' Star Lily Gladstone and Filmmaker Erica Tremblay Aim High: They Want Film to Join the 'Canon of Native American Classics'
Briefly

That longing birthed the idea of Jax, one of the central heroines of 'Fancy Dance,' Tremblay's confident and powerful narrative feature debut that premiered in Sundance last year and recently found a distribution home at Apple TV+; landing that distribution deal had much to do with Gladstone's own advocacy for the project while on the late-2023 'Killers of the Flower Moon' awards trail.
Fancy Dance' follows Jax and her niece Roki, whom Jax has been caring for since Roki's mom disappeared. The film explores their journey through Oklahoma, investigating the disappearance, and their experiences with family, womanhood, and Native identity.
