Retro children's TV takes a comical jab when one letter of the alphabet gets a new association.

A nephew's journey

At the Canadian National Spelling Bee speller Darryl Nepinak stumbles upon a familiar word. (This film was commissioned by the Winnipeg Film Group's Cinematheque for its 25th anniversary, Silverscope)

Darryl Nepinak documents his mother as she teaches him and shares stories of how she learned how to make Bannock. A step by step way of teaching others about what is Bannock and how to make it.

This short film documents Darryl Nepinak's journey as he receives his Indian name, while exploring how traditional culture continues to shape and influence our modern sense of self.

Two ersatz "Indian warriors" chase a beautiful Indian maiden through the streets of Winnipeg but she loves Chief Big Bear. Who is the hunter, and who the hunted in this tableaux? Based on the 1964 German song, "Zwei Indianer Aus Winnipeg," our heroes are in for a surprise when they reach The Ancient Lake of Schwinestieger.

Filmmaker Darryl Nepinak directs an amateur film about a talk show host, with a set in his living room that runs on his local cable television network. We follow Darryl the host around his 'ghetto' neighbourhood as he encounters old guests from his show and watch some old reruns or highlights from past shows.
