Part of the Storytellers in motion series
Perhaps the talent to watch in the years ahead, Joseph Lazare has been a video addict since he was a young boy. Better known as Dega among his friends, Joseph has been making movies since he was thirteen in his hometown of Kahnawake, Québec. He also designs Mohawk-language textbooks for schoolchildren. Lazare participated in CyberPowWow 2004, an interactive visual art exhibition, web-hosted by Oboro Gallery of Montréal.
He is now completing the Big Soul Production of By The Rapids and is developing his first feature film. Storytellers in motion catches up with Dega in Toronto and in Kahnawake on a weekend visit home to see his mom.
