‘Good Indian,’ made in Kansas, premieres Friday

More News

“The Only Good Indian,” KU filmmaker Kevin Willmott’s Kansas-lensed Western set at the turn of the last century, will have its Lawrence premiere at 7 p.m. Friday at Liberty Hall.

“Indian” debuted in January at the Sundance Film Festival, was the opening night movie at last spring’s Kansas City FilmFest and will be screened later this month at the St. Louis International Film Festival.

The film was shot in the Flint Hills, at Wichita’s Old Cowtown Museum, the old Menninger campus in Topeka and at various other Kansas spots. It stars American Indian actor Wes Studi as a motorcycle-riding bounty hunter sent to track down an Indian youth who has fled a government-run boarding school.

In the supporting cast are local actors like Kip Niven, Queen Bey, T. Max Graham, Larry Peterson, Walter Coppage and Kevin Fewell.

Tickets are $8, with proceeds benefiting the KU Friends of Film.
