Indigenous Quote by Lily Gladstone
“I'm liking that when I'm now walking into generals and hearing about the scope of characters that are out there for Indigenous actors to play, so many of the pitches I'm hearing are coming from Indigenous creators - not people who are like consultants on the thing but are showrunners on the thing.”
