Kalispell, Montana Native Returns Home to Make First Film – Nicolas Hudak plans to shoot documentary on Blackfeet Nation

For years, Kalispell native Nicolas Hudak has honed his creativity far from the Flathead Valley, living in Italy, studying in New Zealand and working in Germany. But when it came time to work on his first full-length feature film, there was only one logical place to go: home.

“If I succeed in making this film the way I hope to, it will be because of the people, resources and support I have here,” Hudak said. “You realize how many great connections you have (at home) when you move somewhere else.”

Since October, Hudak and his partner Anu Webster have been regularly making the 100-some mile trek to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, where they hope to make a documentary. At its core, the film would address what it means to be Native American in the 21st century by focusing on five different tribal members of varying generations.
