'Dark Winds' actress Jessica Matten: 'Rez Ball' film amplifies Native voices

NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Jessica Matten says that by bringing together artists from Reservation Dogs and Dark Winds, her new sports film, Rez Ball, spotlights a talented, growing community of Indigenous storytellers.

"It's a testament to our Native community of film and TV actors, which is still, I would say, definitely small, but growing and I think this film is actually going to amplify that and just encourage even more young Native actors to give this job a try," Matten told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
