A film director and writer, Kevin Littlelight is a member of the Tsuut’ina Nation with proud Tsuut’ina and Blackfoot heritage, was instrumental in the creation of the Tsuut’ina Office of the Arts and now holds a seat on Calgary Arts Development’s Board of Directors. With the support of his family, Littlelight took time away from home and left a prestigious career behind to head to film school in New York and kick-start his creative path as a filmmaker.
Littlelight acknowledges the need of an artist to express their creativity. "As an artist you really have a deep drive in yourself to express your art or to get everything out of you and that doesn’t happen really in an office environment, it doesn’t happen in an administration environment. Artists, if they can’t do art, then they implode.”
Listen to this week’s podcast to hear more about Littlelight’s creative journey and experiences, and the sacrifices he made in order to realize his dream.
