Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber.
On this episode Cherokee filmmaker Jeremy Charles discusses putting down the cameras to produce a groundbreaking album of contemporary music in the Cherokee language performed by Cherokee musicians. That said he hasn't stopped working on film projects. He somehow found the time to do both, plus be a dad and husband.
Jeremy discusses how he went from being one of the most sought-after photographers in town a decade ago to becoming a leading filmmaker in the Cherokee Nation. The tribe is investing money in movies and shows, and Jeremy talks about what it means to be helping lead the charge in producing content that tells our tribe's story through our voices.
