After premiering at SXSW earlier this year, filmmaker Billy Luther‘s (Navajo, Hopi and Laguna Pueblo) narrative feature debut Frybread Face and Me hit the festival circuit and GLAAD has followed it since. The Native-rich, coming-of-age story executive produced by Taika Waititi as well as Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (RuPaul’s Drag Race) screened at the Toronto International Film Festival before Ava DuVernay‘s production banner ARRAY acquired it. With a strong team supporting, Frybread Face and Me will debut on Netflix and in select theaters on November 24.

Luther’s documentary work includes award-winning Miss Navajo and Grab as well as the short docu Red Lake. He is also a writer and director for the AMC series Dark Winds. As his first narrative feature, Luther wanted it to be a personal story. In a recent interview, he told GLAAD in a recent interview that it’s been six years in the making which is a short amount of time for a narrative feature, surprisingly. Frybread Face and Me illustrates Luther’s experience as an “urban Indian”.
