We are sad to say that our matriarch Ilona McDill passed away. She was 84 and lived a life of adventure filled with horses, dogs, and many other animals. She will be missed by her siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Ilona was an independent spirit and passed that on to those who spent time with her. Ilona McDill Obituary

Although not always a clear-cut and easy path, she is thoroughly enjoying the journey and has worked for a plethora of clients and directors in a variety of short films, feature films, commercials, music videos, and more. Within the past year she began working with the wonderful and talented people at GEM Filmworks, a full-service production company, who specialize in the development, production, and packaging of films, television, web-series and industrials. Together they started the Indy Actor Studio, which offers workshops for actors, headshots, one-on-one training, and writer training (to name a few).

She looks forward to continuing her growth and welcomes the opportunity for unique and challenging roles along the way. Click her photo to see her IMDb listing.

Sequoia lives and works in Rapid City, South Dakota and has three children. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, and a descendent of Chief War Eagle and Chief Swift Cloud. He is an accomplished musician, grass dancer and historian, and his handmade flutes and musical recordings uphold the traditions of his Lakota ancestors. Much of his music is a fusion of hip-hop, rock, and lyrics about Indian heritage and contemporary life. Wagnuka Olowan (Woodpecker Song), his first album, highlights the Native American flute and it's connection with nature, and is a mix of contemporary and traditional sounds. He studied at Oglala Lakota. Sequoia is the lead singer, guitarist, song writer at Sequoia the Modern Day Warrior and Letta People the Band and Cultural Relations Advisor at the Children's Home Society and Family Services. His CD is featured in the film.
