American Filmmaker

Ivy & Ivan MacDonald are a brother and sister filmmaking duo from the Blackfeet tribe of Northern Montana.  Currently, they're working on "When They Were Here," a feature documentary about the serial disappearances and murders of indigenous woman across Montana.  Ivy and Ivan are based out of Missoula, Montana.  Ivy and Ivan talk about the process of filming a story that's extremely close to their personal lives and going after financing for the film.  "When They Were Here" was chosen by the Big Sky Film Institute's Native Filmmaker Initiative and their fellowship program to help find and develop Native films and filmmakers.

Ivy and Ivan are finishing up a demo reel to find the final financing for the film.
