Hey, Viktor
A surreal yet insightful comedy...Lightning turns in a master class performance of buffoonery.
Hey, Viktor
HEY VIKTOR! is Cody Lightning's raunchy mockumentary about the making of an ill-fated Smoke Signals sequel.
Former child actor Cody Lightning, whose career peaked as "Viktor" in the 1998 indie hit Smoke Signals, wants to get the gang back together for a sequel. Unfortunately, the gang hates him, and his drinking, gambling, and general narcissism isn't earning him any newfound trust.
This riotous comedy takes a no-holds-barred approach to indigenous stereotypes without ever losing its loving, healing heart.
"[B]oth a brilliant commentary on the aftermath of child stardom, and a surreal yet insightful comedy that dips into pitch-perfect dramatic moments. Lightning turns in a masterclass performance of buffoonery and absurdism strained through the filter of his real life.” ~ Sante Fe Reporter
