Adele Dubois is a author of Adult Erotic Romantic fiction
"Q. You played the part of a wolf shape-shifter in the movie Twilight. What was it like to appear in such a popular film?
A. Being in Twilight was
a life changing experience. I have been in this business for over 15
years and have been the face of major corporations and products, but
nothing affected my career more than 12 seconds in the movie Twilight
as Ephraim Black, the great great grandfather of Jacob. It was a
privilege and an honor to be recognized as this character by the fans.
My
popularity is definitely fan driven and I owe it all to Stephanie Myers
and Catherine Hardwicke for creating such a powerful book-to-movie
franchise. With every new release fans seem to all go back to the
original story and fall in love all over again. Twilight has opened many doors for me and it does not seem to be stopping.Read more of this fantastic interview and enter their giveaway! HERE

To add to the long list of accolades and recognition received throughout his career is Justin’s recent lead performance as the stubborn and fiercely intelligent character, Adam, in Two Indians Talking.

Tara Dixon took the time discuss success of The Pineville Heist with writer/director Lee Chambers and actor Booboo Stewart.
The Pineville Heist. Movie or book?
LEE: It started as a screenplay. Became a book and now it is on track to become a movie It’s definitely not an overnight thing. So far, it’s been a 4 year journey and we are still going. Luckily, I love it just as much now as I did when I invented the story and character back in the summer of 2008.

Byron Chief-Moon- Grey Horse Rider Featured at LGBT Film Festival
Byron Chief-Moon: Grey Horse Rider
88 Minute Running TimeFather of three, successful TV actor and artist and proud member of the First Nations two-spirited gay community, Byron Chief-Moon is a fascinating mesh of dynamic personae. But when he dances alone in the forest, the complexity of the real world washes away, and we can see his spiritual self take hold. Interviews combine with mesmerizing footage of his performances to capture the essence of this cutting-edge artist who founded the Coyote Arts Percussive Performance Association. By melding the history and art of his Canadian Blackfoot Confederacy tribe with issues of contemporary life, Chief-Moon’s work makes profound statements about identity and tradition.
The engaging documentary Two Spirits also focuses on the challenges and joys of growing up as a gay Native American. Joey Criddle is co-director of the Two Spirit Society of Denver, an organization that helps gay and lesbian Native Americans connect and celebrate their common bonds. When Joey is invited to his Pentacostal son’s wedding in Mississippi, we follow along to see how the reunion unfolds. Centering on one man’s struggles and successes in straddling two very different cultures, Two Spirits exposes universal truths about acceptance and family bonds.
The program opens with Two Spirits, One Journey, a fictional story of forbidden love on an Indian reservation. — BRENDAN PETERSON
co-presented by BAAITS - Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits, Native American AIDS Project and Native American Health Center
