Joey Clift, a Cowlitz comedian, writer and producer, has an animated short playing at this year's Cleveland International Film Festival.
The short is pulled from his experiences and where his priorities were as a young person. Through the film, Clift demonstrates that sometimes a kid is more interested in video games than embracing their history and culture. And it's a sentiment that he hopes resonates with viewers from all backgrounds.
Clift spoke with Ideastream's Jenny Hamel on the "Sound of Ideas" about "Pow!" and being an Indigenous filmmaker.
