A special statement from our blog:
Indian And Cowboy Creative’s Statement On The Rise Of Indian REsidential School Denialism In Canada
A proven model.
Indian & Cowboy has moved beyond the traditional production company model into a sustainable, collaborative, Indigenous-led storytelling powerhouse.
This isn’t an experiment because the film, television, and podcast industry is collapsing. Our model is proven. Indian & Cowboy is a high-output storytelling studio built for scope and scale.
By vertically integrating our infrastructure and our process, we have established a sovereign, self-sustaining ecosystem designed to meet the global demand for prestige stories.
Our integrated studio model is a sovereign story engine built for scale.
Projects flow seamlessly through our five studio system and story stream: Digital validates new ideas and shares them with the world online, Originals develops them for broadcast and streaming, Creative aligns with values-aligned brands and communities, Education extends narrative reach into classrooms, board rooms, and training centres, and Live brings stories directly to the people.
It is a closed-loop system where every unit feeds and strengthens the others.
