- Producer/Writer/Director Holt Hamilton takes you "Behind the Scenes" of the making of a Native heartwarming story of a girl's reignited love for her Native heritage, "Turquoise Rose."
Turquoise Rose was filmed on the Navajo Nation, in Gallup, New Mexico and Mesa, Arizona in 2006. It features a number of Navajo people, most without professional acting experience, in the lead parts. The title role is played by Natasha Kaye Johnson of Twin Lakes. Johnson, who has done some part-time modeling, worked as a reporter for The Independent in Gallup. Gallup resident Rhonda Ray, of the Southwest Indian Foundation, portrays Turquoise Rose's mother. The film also features Native actors and entertainers Deshava Apachee, Vincent Craig, and Ernest Tsosie III.

Enjoyed this movie! I would like to see more. I think our nation owes the native Americans more respect
I just watched the film. I was transported into a very different way of life. A beautiful movie. My spirit is still there. ❤️
Great to hear!! Thank you for finding us and one of our films. You may be interested in our other films too if you liked this one. www.HoltHamilton.com
Just an awesome movie with a message about an incredible culture. Thank you for appreciating and seeing the value and the importance of this culture.
Thank you John for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the film.
Beautifully acted, so natural. Direction and story, Navaho Nation. All so magical. Thank you for sharing with us.
I love the movie, I have the movie. Love you guys, great show. Really love grandma too.
And we love you too! Yes, grandma is a joy!
Watched the movie and truly enjoyed it. Well done!
I first watched this movie when i was around 5 years old, I watched it with my family and growing up on the Navajo reservation by my grandmother on my dad's side it made me feel proud of the representation that it shows and being a little girl who rarely see's Native American's on the big screen and so how beautifully and authentic it was done, and now being a 20 year old Navajo living in California it brings a nostalgic feeling. This movie will always be in my heart ❤
Thanks for sharing! Have you seen any of our other movies?
Thank you Holt Hamilton for your service to our nation and your wonderfully made Native American centered films. You are really filling a big niche in the film industry ! I look forward to seeing many more films from you !
We appreciate your kind words and will continue to do our best to bring powerful human stories to the screen.
I'm from Aotearoa New Zealand..loved this movie,loved the humor,love what isn't said..ka pai ..
Thank You for this wonderful movie ! I don't know much about the Navajo Nation, but I loved that the actors are genuine and gave great believability to their roles. I hope that you have better support for your movie making now in 2023, Native life is never easy, and should be exposed not only to hardships but success stories as well. God Bless you and I hope you keep the good going. Much Love from Oregon. WBW
Fantastic job guys.hope to c some u do more native American Indian movies.🇦🇺👍😁
It's cool to see this, to see you trying to make a movie with "no track record," especially knowing now that you've made several. That's really hard to do. But I always think there's so much untapped talent out there. It's cool that you did it.
We appreciate your support and thank you for taking the time to share. Yes it isn't always easy. And YES there is lots of talent we haven't seen yet!
@@HoltHamiltonFilms I'm sure you've inspired a lot of people. This inspired me a bit today. I'm working on my own thing and it's a bit of a long haul. So I can use any inspiration I can get lol.
Love everything about this movie better than Hollywood!🪃Cheers from Australia!
Loved this movie. Saw it last week in Spain. Would like to see more movies like this.
We are so glad you loved the film! How did you watch it in Spain?
@@HoltHamiltonFilms The full movie is on TH-cam. I searched for Indigenous American movies and found Turquoise Rose. I had just watched Dark Winds on Netflix and wanted to see more movies about Indigenous Americans where I can learn more about the culture. I learned a lot from Turquoise Rose. I saw Dark Winds in Norway which is where I live. I could not find Turquoise Rose on Netflix in Norway.
This is fabulous! Thank you for keeping your determination and making this incredible production. It brings hope to my heart that prejudice can be erased so understanding can have some space. The future can then be a better place for all. To see your son, the next generation immersed in this is absolutely heartwarming. It has been years that I am hoping First Nations will find the confidence to appreciate what they can bring and tell their stories with their own voices. I feel your amazing project has helped immensely with this. Many thanks to all concerned. Best of luck with your next endeavours! Mitakoye Oyasin :-)
Awesome, my uncle Julius at 10:48, I didn't know how much he was involved in 'Turquoise Rose'. Very good movie! I'm glad it was made.
Really good movie : well done! Thank you for making it.
Love the movie and wanted more. Many more blessing. Thank you for sharing. Aloha from Hawai’i 💚🙏💚
What a time to be in 2000-2009 🥹🥹🥹

Nicely done 👏🙏❤👊
Thank you @Marlena Dan!
Great job on this film Mr Hamilton👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Have you seen any of our other films?
@@HoltHamiltonFilms I have seen all five and collected them. 👍👍👍👍👍 great job as well.
You have done a great job for not having a resume in directing. At the beginning I was disappointed that a mother castrates her daughter from moving forward into other cultures. Often families holds their children behind interrupting a trip to Europe for a journey into the past is not culturally correct. However, as the movie moves along the narrative, I could understand why she sends her daughter to say good bye to her grandmother. To say the last love to your ancestors is valuable. All the characters are unique and hopeful. A great casting and the music is lovely too. I love it.
The name Turquoise Rose is nice too and sure clever...
LOVED IT..👍😇😛😘😀🤞
Thank you. Did you love it enough to want to write a quick review on Amazon for us? Pretty please - www.amazon.com/Turquoise-Rose-Natasha-Kaye-Johnson/dp/B07MXQS9FM/ref=tmm_aiv_title_1?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I seen that movie once and I really liked it. Wish I could watch it again but don't know where to find it.
www.HoltHamilton.com and click on their films. It's available to view in a few ways.
Good job on making this movie on the Navajo Nation! How did you learn Navajo and what inspired you to make this movie since you are a Biligana?👍🤓
The writer/director Holt Hamilton was introduced to the Navajo people and community when he served a two year church mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. He spent time in Shiprock, Kayenta, and Window Rock during those two years chopping wood, getting chased and bit by rezdogs, eating frybread and sharing the good word but most importantly meeting beautiful people who he continues to visit and be involved with today.
The secret in making the film was to use real Navajo location and real Navajo actors. It was a huge collaboration with all involved. A majority of the crew were also locals from the areas we filmed at. It takes a village to raise a film. :)
Thank you for your kind words. If you have a chance, we would appreciate your review of the film on Amazon. Here is a direct link: www.amazon.com/Turquoise-Rose-Natasha-Kaye-Johnson/dp/B07MXQS9FM/ref=tmm_aiv_title_1?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Today I accidentally stumbled onto this...please do more NatAm things and please include their languages like you did.
Awesome
thanks
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your Movie!! I live on the Flathead Reservation in Montana and got all the humor.
I love your movie ❤
true Respect & understanding does grow......😉
Thank you for taking the time to share. Have a great 2020!
I read a book a long time ago about a half Kickapoo young woman. It was her autobiography with the name of her book titled after her name; Crying Wind. It's a good read and would make a good movie. She also wrote a sequel, ' My Searching Heart. I recommend reading them.
Wow my favorite movie cast
Great effort , great movie, very realistic,
Thank you. Where did you watch the film at?
Holt Hamilton Films : Fnx PBS, keep up the good work
what is the name of the song
💗💗
Thanks for the two pink hearts. One of our favorite colors.
where is she at now
Can someone help me find the song and artist for the more ballad feeling "I want to be a prayer warrior, to walk in the steps of my grandfather"? Really lovely, but I haven't had any success finding it ...
The artist is Oreland Joe - facebook.com/Oreland-Joe-1661322970786347

@@HoltHamiltonFilms Thank you - this is the artist who created the sculpture? ... Can you also point me to a list of the songs that appear in the film?
Has the actress Natasha appeared in any other movies?
She has only been in one of our films, and at least one more. Not sure after that. Here is her IMDB credits: www.imdb.com/name/nm3729199/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t18
Holt Hamilton Films : she should, she showed talent and should continue her acting career.
@@rembertomondragon6169 we hope she does continue too!
@@rembertomondragon6169 both her and Deshava were amazing all of the actors were ❤

The ancestoral connection is dna and spirit, generational and culture. To much hard hearted critisms for a comming of age story. With a beautiful native American cast.

I auditioned for this movie
....I could have been a star..(burp)...this hair could have taken me places..( burp)😂😂
MY GRANDMA IS IN THIS MOVIE THERE ON HER LAND
Who is your Grandma?
My daughter, when she was 2, were on The Longest Walk in 1978. We joined in Kansas City, Kansas. On the way there,, I could tell how the horses and cows were facing, it was going to rain. When it did, someone let us sleep in their tent.
My daughter's name was Runs Clear. I'm Spring Waters ( Wewailah ). I'm half Lakota Sioux, one quarter Cheyenne Arapahoe and one quarter white. Runs Clear's other half is Northern Cheyenne.
We've had so many experiences, I keep wanting to write about it, but haven't. Many tribes were there. The first Navajo we met there was Ann Begay. I don't know her name, but another Navajo woman, when we walked, she showed me a good example of not littering that I applied ever since.
After she was through smoking a cigarette, she put it out and put the cigarette butt in her pocket. Later when my children ate candy, they knew the trash went in my pocket.
I grinned when they mentioned Cherokee. Not the Native ones, but I've heard it too. Many tried to tell me that they were part Cherokee with their grandmother had been a Cherokee princess.
A few years before we joined The Longest Walk, I had a friend that worked in the ' Indian ' clinic in Oak Cliff, Texas. She told me that a man called claiming, " I'm a sixteenth Cherokee and I heard I could get a check! " Her answer, "Well, I'm full blooded Choctaw and I get a check, too. But I've got to work my butt off for it! "
Goes well with silver framed plated and unique.
okay

Interesting.
Movie is great but she cant speak the navajo language so as her mother....smh but the grandmother wow she can speak very good, i wish i still had my grandparents but thank them for my navajo language, i speak it from the day i was born, directors always pick up sum1 that cant speak navajo they re alotta ppl that can speak good navajo but dont get the parts smh so please directors if u want a navajo film pick sum1 with NAVAJO speaking person thank you....Navajo Pride
Thanks for your comment. The character in the movie wasn't supposed to know Navajo and so it sounds like that came across very well as it should have.
Shi ma sani was the best. Speaking Navajo she made me laught. Brought back memories. The movie is a message, when a family member calls for you it is time to make it home can't delay things.
Make your money maker do the talking.
okay. Our next film comes out November 3 - www.holthamilton.com/touch-the-water.html
Dance for your friend old baldie
She used to be a substitute teacher at my school, Gallup catholic. Until she got caught messing around with the PE teacher behind the stage during school

Drew L : who are you talking about sir ?
the main character didn't speak a word of navajo...her mother can't even say "nimasani" correctly
Thanks for pointing it out cousin coyote I'm not gonna watch it now
Turquoise's character wasn't supposed to know how, part of the movie. :) Glad it worked out how it was suppose to in the script.
