In the mockumentary debut, Indigenous actor Cody Lightning aims to revive his career by spearheading a sequel to the beloved film Smoke Signals, originally released in 1998..
Twenty-five long years after his time in the limelight, Cody thinks it’s time to revisit the iconic role he once played (as “Viktor,” to avoid a potential lawsuit), alongside the original cast.
Logically, he hijacks a film crew to pitch his sequel idea, all while navigating a tumultuous journey fueled by greed and fame.
“Hey, Viktor!” offers a mix of nostalgic nods and outrageous humour, blending mockumentary tropes with themes of fame, and cultural significance. It’s a comedy that’s as smart as it is raunchy and marks the arrival of a major comedic voice in Canadian and Native cinema.
