2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com

Director: Theo Jean Cuthand
Canada, 5 minutes, 2017, fiction

2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com queers and indigenizes traditional dating site advertisements. Using a Butch NDN ‘lavalife’ lady (performed by director TJ Cuthand), 2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com seduces the viewer into 2 Spirit "snagging and shacking up" with suggestions of nearby pipeline protests to take your date to, and helpful elders who will matchmake you and tell off disrespectful suitors. It's the culturally appropriate website all single 2 Spirit people wish existed. Following up on his video "2 Spirit Introductory Special $19.99" this work examines the forces of capitalism through envisioning a "financially unfeasible" service for a small minority community.
