FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Native American sci-fi/thriller opens in Portland
Location is first for Holt Hamilton Productions
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Legends from the Sky, a new film by Holt Hamilton
Productions and featuring an all-star cast, opens Friday at Regal Fox Tower
Stadium 10 in Portland.
This is a first for Portland, which has the ninth largest urban Indian popu-
lation in the U.S., but has never before hosted a Holt Hamilton film.
Legends from the Sky follows the saga of Lyle, a Native American veteran
(played by Navajo actor Edsel Pete). Burdened by survivor’s guilt after a
disastrous military tour, Lyle is forced to search for his missing grandfather
(played by Thomas H. Begay, a Navajo Code Talker), who disappears when
an Unknown Federal Organization takes over his ancestral homeland.
The film was predominantly shot in Tsaile, Ariz., on the Navajo Nation,
with additional filming on the Maka Reservation in Neah Bay, Wash. It captures stunning vistas in two states and
explores the often complex relationships between Native culture and science fiction.
Legends from the Sky showcases an array of talent with a cast roster that includes Mia Sable (Choctaw), Er-
nest Tsosie III (Navajo), James Bilgaody (Navajo), Wayne Charles Baker (Squamish), Jon Gonzalez (Chircahua
Apache), Chris Robinson (General Hospital), Derek Solorsano (2 Guns, Kingdom) and Cale Epps.
The film is the first sci-fi/thriller produced by Holt Hamilton. Writer/Director Travis Holt Hamilton hopes it
opens the door for future science fiction films with Native themes, a genre not yet well established. “I’ve had the
idea to make a science fiction Native thriller for quite some time,” Hamilton said. “This story gave me the oppor-
tunity to get in and work with a different style of filmmaking.”
Legends from the Sky will show April 10-16 at:
Regal Fox Tower Stadium 10
846 SW Park Ave.
Portland, Ore. 97205
844.462.7342 ext. 327
