Michael Horse is attached to the Pale Face movie project which award-winning author W.D. Kilpack III is writing, award-winning director Tom Konkle is directing and Safe Harbor Films is producing. Horse will be playing Hosteen Whitehorse, grandfather of the main character, Hector.
President Tony A. Angelo said, “We’re very excited to have Michael join the cast of Pale Face. He doesn’t take just any role. It has to be something that he finds worthwhile.”
Horse said, “This story intrigued me because there’s long history of the Sky People coming down and giving gifts to the indigenous people. But the thing that really got me about this was the relationship between the grandfather and the grandson. There isn’t anybody out there in any culture that can’t relate to an older person trying to hand down some wisdom and cultural history to someone younger, hoping that they don’t make the same mistakes that maybe they did.”
The film is the story of Hector, who was born on a New Mexico reservation but educated in the white-man’s school. He was part of two worlds, but at home in neither. One fateful night, a close encounter changed his life forever. An encounter that nearly cost him his life. Now, he must uncover the truth about his encounter: a journey into the mysterious and the mystical, caught between Earth and another realm, pursued by those who want to silence him. Will he survive to find the truth and his place in the world?
Horse said, “We were all tribal people at one time, there’s no particular wisdom in any particular race, but some have just lost their original instructions. One of the elders told me one time, if you want to learn about a culture, find out what they eat, what they hold holy, and what they find funny. Pale Face gives a look at this.”
