The creative team behind Indian Horse, the 2017 feature adaptation of the late Richard Wagamese’s novel of the same name, are partnering for a documentary, The Storyteller, on the legendary Canadian indigenous writer.
Stephen Campanelli, Clint Eastwood’s go-to cameraman, directed Indian Horse after it was adapted by Dennis Foon. In a deal to be unveiled at the Banff World Media Festival, Campanelli will serve as the cinematographer and Foon as a story consultant on the feature documentary about Wagamese and his Ojibway heritage to be directed by Jules Arita Koostachin (WaaPaKe, Broken Angel).
The indigenous creatives behind The Storyteller include Jim Compton as principal producer, while also serving as a writer and executive producer alongside Koostachin. The partners behind The Storyteller are also involved in the adaptation of Wagamese’s novel Ragged Company and are developing a feature film adaptation.

You have the same features, skin tone, religion, community, or culture. This character represents you and you see this character often: in the movies you watch with your children, the comic books you read as a teenager, the video games you've played all your life. You should be happy to see them. You want to be happy to see them.
Survival is rarely afforded to this character.
But every time you see them, it's like a ticking clock: whenever this character appears in any story, it's only a matter of time before they are abused, raped, or murdered. They die by disease, suicide, or overdose. They are in jail,...

Aaron Paul is an Idaho boy at heart. The three-time Emmy winning star of “Breaking Bad” and producer and actor on Nickelodeon’s bawdy, subversive animated series “Bojack Horseman” currently makes his home in Los Angeles, but Paul was born in Emmett, a sleepy city about 30 miles outside of Boise, and escapes to the spud state to unwind and visit with family every chance he gets.
“I’ve lived in California for most of my life,” Paul told a packed crowd gathered at the Argyros Performing Arts Center in Ketchum, Idaho on March 15. “I love California. But Hollywood can be crazy. Coming back to Idaho is like a sanctuary for me.”
Paul’s Coffee Talk was one several standout events at the eighth annual Sun Valley Film Festival, which ran March 13-17 in the snowy playground for skiers and snowboarding aficionados. Paul, whom Variety honored at the fest with the Svff 2019 Pioneer Award,...

Like the Richard Wagamese novel on which it is based, the drama Indian Horse combines one of Canada’s greatest national glories — the game of ice hockey — with one of the darkest chapters in its national history: the terrible goings-on at Canadian-Indian residential schools where aboriginal children were taught to be good Christians, far removed from their own culture and heritage. This is the second feature as a director from Montreal-born camera operator Stephen Campanelli, the go-to Steadicam guy on the movies of Clint Eastwood, who gets an executive producer credit here. Campanelli's cinematographer is Quebec maestro Yves Belanger...
