Native Bidaské with Billy Luther, the Writer/Director of “FRYBREAD FACE AND ME”

In this Native Bidaské, our host Levi Rickert sits down with Billy Luther (Navajo, Hopi, and Laguna Pueblo) to discuss his latest project, “FRYBREAD FACE AND ME,” challenging stereotypes and celebrating Native American life.

“FRYBREAD FACE AND ME” is a 1990s coming-of-age story following Benny Lovell, an 11-year-old Native American boy spending his summer on his Grandma Lorraine’s sheep ranch in Arizona. Guided by Aunt Lucy and challenged by Uncle Marvin, Benny’s world changes when his cousin Fry, aka Frybread Face, arrives. The film explores their friendship, family, and the search for missing sheep.

Billy Luther shares his personal connection to the story and emphasizes the film’s universal appeal. “FRYBREAD FACE AND ME” is a celebration of Native culture, humor, and the shared human experience.
