Finding Hozho: Conversation With Director Travis Holt Hamilton & Frankie J Gilmore

About this episode

A conversation with filmmaker Travis Holt Hamilton and actor Frankie J Gilmore about their film Finding Hozho, focusing on themes of forgiveness and healing.

Two Native creatives. One powerful story about forgiveness and healing. In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Travis Holt Hamilton of Holt Hamilton Films and first time actor Frankie J Gilmore, who stars as Secody in the new feature film Finding Hozho. This drama follows a 70 year old Navajo veteran who must decide whether to forgive his terminally ill and abusive father or stay “in the shadows of Hozho” forever. 🎬 Watch the Finding Hozho trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS-zIOHUwhk&t=85s 🌐 Learn more: holthamilton.com/finding-hozho If you enjoy conversations about Native storytelling, culture, and film, hit subscribe, give this video a like, and let me know in the comments if you have seen Finding Hozho yet or plan to check it out. 2025 Pow Wow Guide eBook https://powwows.thrivecart.com/2025-pow-wow-guide-what-to-expect-lead/ Find a Pow Wow in your state or province! www.powwows.com/powwowsnearme Pow Wow Essentials https://www.powwows.com/essentials Connect With Us!
