THE GREAT SALISH HEIST Heads To Theatres For National Truth and Reconciliation Day

Orca Cove Media is excited to announce the first-ever Indigenous heist film, THE GREAT SALISH HEIST is coming to Cineplex theatres across Canada in honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day. 

“We are so excited to see our film get the big screen treatment across Canada,” says Harold C. Joe, Cowichan filmmaker and producer of Orca Cove Media. “To see our Indigenous stories get national recognition is amazing, and we can’t wait to bring the first-ever Indigenous heist film to Cineplex theatres.”

The Great Salish Heist follows Steve Joe, a traditional archaeologist for the Moquahat people. He believes the bad luck in his community is a result of the displacement of sacred artifacts. He and a rag-tag group of rebels from the Rez hatch a plan to break into a museum and reclaim their stolen artifacts.

“We couldn’t be more proud of Ashley and the success she has received,” says Joe. “From our movie filmed in Southern Vancouver Island. To competing in Mexico later this year for Miss Universe. She (Ashley) is a testament to Indigenous talent and we couldn’t be happier to have had her as part of our cast.”

The film stars Canada’s recently crowned Miss Universe, Ashley Callingbull, Tricia Helfer, and Academy Award nominee Graham Greene. Ashley and writer/director/actor Darrell Dennis (who plays lead character Steve Joe) are available for interviews in addition to writer, actor and inspiration for the film Harold C. Joe.
