Ticci Man Project - Commercial
Television
The television series focuses on the famed Dr. Bluewater character from the
film. He is an aged, eccentric
and witty yet brilliant Native attorney who fights for underdogs, offering his services
pro bono through the sponsorship of the benevolent Golden Piñon Casino. Of
course, let's not forget his alter ego--the vibrant and animated yet mythical warrior
of wisdom--our
beloved Ticci Man!
The initial eight one hour episodes are planned for broadcast television
release and are projected to reach over 14 million viewers weekly in the US with
an additional 22-40 million viewers worldwide.
Executives hope to take the series to India and China, where an additional
140+ million weekly viewers would be expected.
We are proud to be a part of this ambitious project that seeks to bridge the
gap between commercial entertainment and the nonprofit community benefiting
Native people of the world with our primary focus on the US and Canada.
Creator's Note
This
project focuses around a unique Indian hero based, in part, on pre-Columbian
myths and legends of the Americas. This landmark series and film work hard
to bring the world both the fun and enjoyment of native cultures in the ancient
and modern worlds, as well as help break down Hollywood's negative stereotypes
of native peoples everywhere.
*Terminology We
use the term Native People (NP) in the purely anthropological sense to
denote "aboriginal people of the world, which includes a
wide variety of self-descriptive nomenclatures, including Canada's First Nations
People, Native Americans, and many others of the American continents and Pacific Island
groups and places of the world. When
more specific descriptions are used, they will include current country of origin
or commonly known tribal names (i.e. Mohawks of the Bay of
Quinte, Dine, etc.). |
