• Summary:Premiered to critical acclaim at the **Toronto International Film Festival**, and based on the celebrated novel by Richard Van Camp, THE LESSER BLESSED is an eye-opening depiction of what it is like to be a vulnerable teenager in today's modern world. Through the eyes of Larry Sole, a First Nation teenager filled with bravado and angst, fragile and yet angry, seeking clarity clouded by confusion, seeking to belong without belonging, comes the story of three unlikely friends isolated in a small rural town discovering what they can of life and love amid racial tensions and the recklessness of youth, in a world clouded by a dark mystery from his past. Winner of Best Supporting Actor (Kiowa Gordon) and nominated for Best Actor (Joel Evans), Best Film, and Best Director at the **American Indian Film Festival** *"Haunting...a little indie gem." - **Betsy Sharkey, The Los Angeles Times*** *"A compelling drama with an unusual locale, and a moving coming-of-age story with powerful performances." - **Jeffrey Lyons/Lyons Den Radio***
