HEY CUZZIN

Hey Cuzzin is a comedy about Indigenous cousins and the special relationships they have with one another. The show primarily centers around Hannah, an anxious, fastidious writer phenom who starts a journey away from her family on the Shy Moose Rez and into the city to explore her destiny. Her cousins, who mean well, are often more of a detriment than an asset. But even when they knock her down, they’re right there to pick her up... because they just knocked her down.

Hey Cuzzin premiered in 2019 at imagineNATIVE Film Festival where Joy also did a Creator Talk, and it premiered in the US at LA Skins Fest where it played at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre. In 2020 "Hey Cuzzin" screened at the UK Spirit Fest and was chosen by the Curators at the American Museum in the UK for Native American Heritage Month.
