Soul"
"We have had the
honor of selling more than 60 million copies of our
book and I encourage each one of our readers to see
"Christmas In The Clouds". It is chicken soup
for the movie watcher's soul. It will leave you feeling
better about yourself - and the world in general." |

Special Issue: The Independents
"This sweet-spirited
comedy nimbly defies a number of categories. It's set
on an Indian reservation, with a predominately American
Indian cast, but it is by no means a generic or preachy
"ethnic" movie." |

"A film about love
and community that also makes us laugh. Perfect for this day
in age!"
Paul Zaentz, Producer
"I laughed out loud when a
Native translation for 'hello' turns out to be an apology
for flatulence, and anytime you can make a shirtless scene
featuring M. Emmet Walsh work, you're definitely doing something
right. Kate Montgomery also demonstrates a good flair for
subtle comic scenes."
Marin Independent Journal
"A quirky and entertaining
romantic comedy starring a cast of mostly Native American
actors... the film doesn't focus on specifically Native American
themes; rather it spotlights people with universal joys and
struggles."
The Oakland Tribune
"Kate Montgomery's directorial
debut is a classic screwball romantic comedy worthy of Frank
Capra or Howard Hawks."
"The Vancouver International
Film Festival"
"A top-notch romantic comedy!"
"...Christmas In The Clouds is just as good as any romantic
comedy Sandra Bullock might ever star in." "...It
has all the elements of a blockbuster... but it also has heart
and soul."
Adrirondack Free Enterprise
"Hilarious plot blends Native culture with 21rst Century
reality."
Akwesasne Phoenix
"A winner! The audience absolutely loved this
film!"
Andy Friedenberg
Director of the Cinema Society of San Diego
"Christmas
In The Clouds" is my new favorite movie!"
John Trudell,
Native American Poet & Activist

"In Kate Montgomery's romantic
feature, Native Americans are neither iconic nor evil, neither
virtuous seers nor monotone drunks. They are flawed and funny
people. Just people."
Telluride Weekly Planet
"I screened this in L.A. with a mostly
non-Native audience and they absolutely loved it. This is
a human story that transcends racial steroetypes. It should
cross over to general audiences with ease!"
Greg Sarris, Chairman, Federated
Indians of Graton Rancheria
Writer, Co-Executive Producer "Grand Avenue" (HBO)

"I am hoping "Christmas
In The Clouds" will change the prevailing attitude that
all movies about American Indian people must be period pieces
or tragic modern dramas".
Mike Smith, (Lakota), Founder, The
American Indian Film Festival |
