Shaandiin Tome directs gorgeous film through Stept Studios for Alterra Mountain Company
From creative production house Stept Studios comes the short film My Ikon: My Connection, a story about the deeply felt connection to the mountains that Connor Ryan, of the Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta people, and Lonnie Kauk, of the Ahwahnechee tribe, both hold.

Cherry – and you can see why.
Set in their home city of Cleveland, Ohio, it revolves around an
army medic with post-traumatic stress disorder who has to rob banks in order to fund his addiction. Not only is that almost the complete opposite of a superhero movie, but it’s also pretty much as tantalising as loglines get.
