I'm not sure there is One Native community...I love the enigmatic Native communities!! #ARRAYNow

[Sharon Liggins @SharonPRDiva]

@chriskeyre Is there an aspect of Native communities that you haven't portrayed in your films or TV projects? #ARRAYNOW

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

[Bernard Oliver @boliver36]

@chriskeyre Did you ever feel any added pressure while making a film? #ARRAYNow

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

plan your preproduction well...prioritize what your "pre" is going to look like so its not running you...#ARRAYNow

[tay'laur @taylaurambrene]

@ARRAYNow @chriskeyre @GPBmadeit To both directors, were there any challenges during pre-production & are there any tips on what’s most important during that stage? #ARRAYNow

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

Titanic!! But it changes hour by hour...#ARRAYNow

[Lonnie Anderson @elApache]

@Chriskeyre #ARRAYNow what is your favorite movie of all time?

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

I think it is a matter of creating what you believe over and over again...If there is an alliance that community will educate through that repetition. #ARRAYNow

[Brian Binkley @BrianBinkley622]

@chriskeyre Inclusion also means inclusion of thoughts and experiences. What’s one way you think Inclusion Allies like me advocating and supporting all communities can educate fellow industry leaders or storytellers to hire diversity behind the camera? #ArrayNOW  #POC #WIF #Ally

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

thank you...To many more of them!! #ARRAYNow

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

[carly @carlycopeland]

Hi @chriskeyre ! O'siem for your work by the way I'm obsessed and watching smoke signals right now 🙌 Did you realize how important smoke signals would be for our community when directing it back then? Thank you ! 🙌 #ARRAYNow

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

My first feature had attention and awards from Sundance that got me an agent and my first real meetings...Most important thing is to follow what you want to make...#ARRAYNow @REKKHAN

[REKKHAN @REKKHAN]

How hard was it to get the industry to take you seriously as a filmmaker @chriskeyre ..? Or did you care ? #ARRAYNow

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

Tell them I sent you!! shoulder tapping is possible but difficult as most people want a recommendation to you...so network and you will find those "ppl in power." it is a networking business...keep asking!! #ARRAYNow

[Maya @Maya90689134]

@chriskeyre As a high schooler, how do I get the “people in power” to read my scripts? I feel like I just need that *one* person to give me a shot ❤️ Thanks!#ARRAYNow

[Chris Eyre @chriskeyre]

That is one of the future goals...along with providing services to productions! The current shut-down has made everything, slower...Hope we get back to work soon! @camelrockstudios #ARRAYNow

Hi Malikah! For me it was when I was accepted to grad film at NYU in 1992...It then became much more real for me...#ARRAYNow

[MAGNETO WAS RIGHT. @malikahcreates]
