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 school children. Lazare participated in CyberPowWow 2004, an interactive visual art exhibition, web-hosted by Oboro Gallery of Montréal. At the time of shooting this episode, he was 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.
