PARIS : Set on the Pine Ridge Reservation, “War Pony” began as a project among friends and over seven years grew into a community effort, said directors Gina Gammell and Riley Keough, who presented their directorial debut at the Cannes Film Festival.

“It started with us making a film with our friends,” Keough told Reuters of a project with roots going back to 2015 when Keough met Bill Reddy and Franklin Sioux Bob, who were working as extras on the movie set of “American Honey”. “How to collaborate responsibly between communities ... sort of became our mission,” said Keough, describing a process that included writing workshops, improvisation sessions and meeting hundreds of people to build a local cast.Sioux Bob, meanwhile, hopes the movie can also be a catalyst for change.
