“SMUDGE is one of the jewels from last year's Momentum program,
and I'm delighted that Gail's film has been chosen for Sundance." “Johnny Greyeyes is the melodramatic tale “Crushed by a
system seemingly determined to incarcerate an entire Native
population, Johnny (played by the devastatingly beautiful
Gail Maurice) finds herself behind bars for seven years.”
