So proud to have helped @joeytainment bring this wonderful film to life. And now it's playing at the Smithsonian! X 2!

[Joey Clift @joeytainment]

This month my animated short film Pow! is screening at the @SmithsonianNMAI as part of their "Animation Celebration!” We’re screening with a ton of cool Native made animated shorts and if you’re in NYC or DC, come through and check it out!

It’s Navajo Nation Sovereignty Day! Back in 1985 the Navajo Nation was awarded its right to self-governance and economic authority over its tribal lands.

Now this is cool, Now this is cool. Leading into our 11th season animating Gridiron Heights for @BleacherReport , the 2026 Midseason Draft Special led the way as they launched their new Cartoon Channel on YouTube!

@GeminiApp Not wanted, definitely not needed. AI slop's time is already done. Quit driving up our electricity costs, burning up our water, poisoning our communities, and super heating the planet trying to get us to buy into your next dream of trillion dollar adds to your valuation.

The glaciers are one of our most important resources and if they keep melting, our planet will change dramatically for the worst.

[FlickerLab @FlickerLab]

Pow! still out there and making noise, as it should be! Fills our hearts with joy.

[Joey Clift @joeytainment]

Oh dang! Thank you to @IGN and Cinefix for giving Pow! a quick shoutout in their “Top movies of 2025” list! We’re the only film in the animation section that isn’t from a major studio to get featured!

[FlickerLab @FlickerLab]

Super cool, behind the scenes look at @joeytainment 's Oscar qualified short Pow! at @FNXTV. (And yeah, FlickerLab animated that!) And calling all academy members, FYC for Best Animated Short.

[Joey Clift @joeytainment]

FYC - Pow! - Best Animated Short

With Pow!’s release on @FNXTV , we also released “Behind The Powwow”, a free Making Of featurette going into all the work that went into making Pow! authentically, with Native folks at the forefront. Here’s a clip!

[FlickerLab @FlickerLab]

[Joey Clift @joeytainment]

Thanks so much to @MichelleNBCLA at @NBCLA for having me on to talk about Pow!, our Best Animated Short awards campaign, today’s @LASKINSFEST screening and how our Native storytelling movement is so cool! Also, I reveal when you can watch Pow! for free on @FNXTV (tomorrow!!!)!

[FlickerLab @FlickerLab]

Hey Academy voters, definitely put eyes on three amazing films by three amazing Native film makers—Pow!, Tiger and Courage! Let's help these great films make history with a Native shorts sweep at the Oscars!

[Joey Clift @joeytainment]

We sold out @TheAutry ya’ll! It was so amazing to screen Pow! with @nativeric and Loren Waters and share the stage with @BirdRunningH2O. Vying for awards is hard and it’s so validating to have people cheering us on. If you’re an Academy voter, consider Pow!, Tiger and Courage!

[FlickerLab @FlickerLab]

Buzz, buzz, buzz…what's that sound? Oscar buzz for Pow!, the film we were honored to have animated for the fabulous @joeytainment. Everyone involved put their heart and soul into it, and seeing it make its way across the world and into so many more peoples' hearts is a true joy!

[Joey Clift @joeytainment]

It’s so cool to see Pow! get all of this Oscars buzz. Thank you to the amazing folks at @cartoonbrew for this interview and for their extremely kind words about the film! If you’re in Los Angeles, come to our FYC event with Courage and Tiger at The Autry on 11/19!

ICE deploy tear gas on crowded public street—because they were upset being stuck in Chicago traffic.

A 2-year-old child required medical care after inhaling the chemical agents—adults were vomiting on the sidewalk.

Local elementary school was forced to lock down for recess due to the presence of agents.

People in nearby cars reported that the tear gas caused their ears, nose, and mouth to run—after chemicals seeped into vehicles despite windows rolled up.

The incident occurred close to Funston Elementary School in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited
