VALLEY OF THE TALL GRASS
A TV/VCR combo set is thrown out in an Oregon town, but it survives and circulates through the lives of various Indigenous characters of color. In this multi-character portrait, young sisters, an artist, a junkyard scrapper, and his skater daughter all find connection through this seemingly obsolete object.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
In search of the young lead role, MONA. She’s 12-16 years old, Indigenous Mexican or Central American (Oaxacan Mixtec or Zapotec a plus). She’s tough and would do anything for those she loves. Her life is complicated. She’s a girl of few words but uses skateboarding to express her grace, courage, and tenacity.
