Shooting Geronimo

The film centers on Frederick Curtis, a filmmaker who is working on a movie about the legendary figure Geronimo just outside the Long Horn Saloon. As he struggles with the performances of his lead actor, he brings in a young Cree man, leading to a complex web of jealousy and manipulation between the two actors.

Shooting Geronimo explores themes of identity and representation in filmmaking, particularly within the context of Hollywood's portrayal of Indigenous characters. The narrative takes a twist when a character known as the “Lonesome Rider” steps in, prompting the two lead actors to seize control of their story from Curtis. This film presents a fresh perspective on the Western genre, blending traditional elements with contemporary social commentary.
