DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

“Bad Indian opens up a new means of dialogue in a conversation that's been ongoing since 1492. If the equation for comedy is tragedy+time, then native comedians must regularly perform on lineups nationwide. Through Josh's mission to realize this goal, he's offered a lesson for humanity to listen while being let in on the joke.”
