After performing at the Tonkawa Film Festival last year, someone asked me if I’d ever considered turning my story into a film. That question sparked the journey that led to Courage. Now, nearly a year later, the film is returning to the festival that inspired it all.

When director Eric Michael Hernandez set out to tell the story of Courage, he knew the vision was bold. Thanks to a groundbreaking partnership with Panavision, the production gained access to top-tier gear, making this Indigenous short film look and feel like a studio feature.
