The story of Beck, a single mom who learns how to reclaim her dreams, family and honour her life, all thanks to an unlikely coach. Beck (Dakota Ray Hebert) lives on the Six Nations reserve in Ontario. After falling into a diabetic coma she is visited by the spirit of Indigenous running legend Tom Longboat (Asivak Koostachin), who helps her to change her lifestyle and becomes her wise-cracking new life coach and personal trainer.

Equal parts funny and touching, this moving film perfectly captures grief, family, and triumph as Beck faces her mother’s death, allowing her to reconnect with her heritage. Run Woman Run took home top prize at the 2021 American Indian Film Festival, as well as the Audience Choice Award at the 2021 ImagineNative Festival.

Ali & Ava: December 12 – Using great music and infused with humour, Ali & Ava is a compelling contemporary romance that explores the developing relationship between the good natured and eccentric Ali and Ava, an Irish-born teacher and single mother of five. Both lonely for different reasons, they bond through their love of music, and find warmth, kindness, and humour with each other.
