The noir thriller opened the ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas, Thursday night with cast members including Zahn McClarnon, Jessica Matten and Kiowa Gordon.
AUSTIN, Texas — The cast of AMC’s “Dark Winds” hopes their show will inspire more stories about Indigenous people.
“We just hope that ‘Dark Winds’ keeps that door open for Indigenous talent and we continue on this route,” McClarnon, who plays Leaphorn, told the audience when asked how to keep stories of Indigenous people from becoming a “blip” on the Hollywood radar. Gordon, meanwhile, described the moment as a “calling of arms” for Indigenous people to “take up the mantle” and write and produce new stories.
Cast members, including Kiowa Gordon and Jessica Matten, hope Indigenous people will have more opportunities to tell their stories in Hollywood.“Dark Winds,” which is based on Tony Hillerman’s mystery novels and executive produced by George R.R. Martin and Robert Redford, was shot by a crew that is 85 percent Native American,“George and I felt strongly about this point,” Redford told the outlet.
