Makeup design doesn’t always mean prosthetics or extremes — that’s why the Emmy Awards smartly single out contemporary makeup design as its own category. But too often, those more immediately arresting designs are the ones that get all the attention. Not anymore. Join IndieWire in celebrating the makeup artists creating subtle, character-specific work for contemporary shows.
“Reservation Dogs” showrunner Sterlin Harjo couldn’t understand why the characters looked so different all of a sudden. After FX picked up the series based on the strength of the pilot, the creative team returned to Oklahoma to film the rest of Season 1. And suddenly, Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Elora (Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) all looked like they had makeup on. What was going on?

Oklahoma might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of a thriving film industry. But there’s something big cooking in the state, and the Cherokee Nation is at the helm.
Over the past year, I’ve been captivated by the work of Cherokee Film, a media company ushering in a new era of authentic Indigenous storytelling. So I hopped on a plane to the Sooner State to see it for myself.
Stepping off the plane, I met Jennifer Loren, senior director of Cherokee Film in Tulsa. Her energy and passion for opening doors for Native talent were palpable as she gave me a thorough tour of everything. From cutting-edge production facilities to innovative training programs, Loren unveiled the inner workings of Cherokee Film’s four groundbreaking pillars. With each stop, I grew more excited about the future of Indigenous cinema and the careers Cherokee Film is helping launch.

Netflix has given us more first look images of Avatar: The Last Airbender, one of the most highly anticipated fantasy shows premiering in 2024.
Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, is shaping up really well. Fans have already seen the animated show foray to live-action in 2010 thanks to M. Night Shyamalan’s movie, which was panned by both fans and critics. Needless to say, there’s plenty of apprehension going into the latest remake, but so far, Netflix seems to have done the source material justice.

This article contains spoilers for Reservation Dogs season 3 episode 10.
Many television shows try to be about community. Hell, one series tried so hard that it violated Seo best practices to just go ahead and name itself Community. I would wager, however, that no TV program ever has better understood the concept of community, nor articulated what it means more effectively than FX’s Reservation Dogs.
The series, which just finished its three-season run on Hulu, began as a simple comedy following four Indigenous teens in their small reservation town of Okern, Oklahoma. Just as those teens – Elora (Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) – grew to realize that their world was much bigger than pilfered potato chips and petty rivalries, so too did Reservation Dogs grow.
Throughout its richly-realized third season, Reservation Dogs has carefully and empathetically communicated how little the youth sometimes realize that they need their elders.

“We’re just men, you know. We don’t know everything. We make mistakes. We don’t know shit.”
Slowly but surely, television is moving back to its original state and what the streaming era should have always embraced: weekly releases. As streaming series like Ahsoka, Only Murders in the Building, and others have proven, the weekly release model is usually the way to go when it comes to maximizing the potential of episodic storytelling.
And yet, some TV experiences can benefit from a binge – or at least a back-to-back screening. The most recent and brilliant example is Reservation Dogs‘ profoundly perfect double feature of “House Made of Bongs” and “Frankfurter Sandwich.”
Those watching Reservation Dogs season 3 episode 5 “House Made of Bongs” on Aug. 23, 2023 had no reason to believe that it would merely the first part of a whole. This flashback...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Reservation Dogs Season 3, Episode 6, “Frankfurter Sandwich.”] Reservation Dogs‘ final season continues to impart some sage wisdom in the latest episode, “Frankfurter Sandwich,” as Cheese (Lane Factor) is whisked away by elders Big (Zahn McClarnon), Bucky (Wes Studi), and Uncle Brownie (Gary Farmer) for an educational fishing trip. As with past seasons, this Cheese-centric episode focuses on the youngest member of the titular friend group as he approaches a new challenge in his early life. The installment begins with Cheese fighting off zombies, which turns out to be a video game fantasy from his virtual reality headset. Denying visits from Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and Elora (Devery Jacobs), Cheese’s “grandmother” Irene (Casey Camp-Horinek) calls on Big, Bucky, and Uncle Brownie to help get the teen out of the house.

“Reservation Dogs” is nearing the end of its journey, but Sterlin Harjo is just getting started. The showrunner and co-creator of the Hulu/FX hit recently announced that Season 3, which begins this week, will mark the end of a story that has been a gamechanger for Native representation in popular culture. The sweet and poignant show chronicles a group of disillusioned teens in rural Oklahoma overcoming the death of their close friend while navigating the traditions and socioeconomic challenges of their local community.
The show’s deadpan tone blend of Indigenous history and mythology with the universal malaise of American youth culture has turned it into a rare representational win that resonates on a larger scale. While it has been snubbed by the Emmys, “Reservation Dogs” won a Peabody Award and landed on many lists as the best show of the year two years in a row.

Eschewing subtlety for in-your-face urgency, Eamon O’Rourke’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere “Asking for It” is packed with familiar faces, timely messages, and righteous fervor. Trashing the screen like “Promising Young Woman”‘s feisty Gen-z sister, it has all the makings of a solid cult favorite.
O’Rourke has thoughtfully curated an unusually strong lineup for a feature debut, both onscreen and off. Our entry into the film’s world is wide-eyed, sweet-natured Joey (co-producer Kiersey Clemons), a small-town waitress who lives with her grandparents (veterans Patricia Belcher and Wayne Dehart). A chance meeting with an old friend leads to a devastating night that threatens to destroy Joey’s soul.
The change in her demeanor is noticed by Regina, a diner regular who introduces Joey to her friends, the vigilante Cherry Bombers. All of them have...

On paper, the premise of writer-director Eamon O’Rourke’s feature debut seems irresistible: An all-girl gang of abuse survivors, seriously upskilled in the use of baseball bats, bombs and butterfly knives, roams heartland America exacting vengeance on Bad Men — which here means #AlmostAllMen. But in execution (and there are precious few of those), “Asking for It” is too much like its cardboard heroines: edgy on the outside, empty within. It’s the “Charlie’s Angels” freeze-pose of rape-revenge movies.
The opening — a montage culled from the lower reaches of the collective incel id — promises better.

After the last live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, aka 2010's divisive M. Night Shyamalan film, we weren't sure there'd ever be another attempt. Netflix first announced its live-action series adaptation back in 2018, however, the original show creators later exited the project due to a deal with ViacomCBS. Thankfully, the streaming giant has finally managed to get its flying bison off the ground as it now has Sleepy Hollow's Albert Kim serving as showrunner.
"This was a chance to showcase Asian and Indigenous characters as living, breathing people," Kim said in a blog post. "Not just in a cartoon, but in a world that truly exists, very similar to the one we live in. . . . Authenticity is what keeps us going, both in front of the camera and behind it, which is why we've assembled a team unlike any seen before - a group of talented and passionate artists...
