The Velvet Devil, from director Larry J. Bauman, is a visually compelling adaptation of Andrea Menard's play about a young Métis woman who leaves her mother, her native culture, and her home to find fame as "the Velvet Devil" a 1940's singing sensation. The film shows Velvet's journey from home to stardom and her return, a journey of spirit, memory, identity, and joy. Featuring actor, singer/songwriter, playwright and screenwriter Andrea Menard (Métis). (WestWind Pictures Ltd, 85 min.) www.WestWindPictures.com

Richard R. Martel, former Commissioner on the
