About The Project
At its heart, Walking On is both an artistic and cultural exploration of how Indigenous communities understand life, loss, and continuity. Rather than presenting death as an ending, the film frames it as a bridge between worlds, inviting audiences to approach this shared human experience with compassion, reverence, and curiosity. Through stunning natural imagery, evocative soundscapes, and the powerful presence of Karrie’s flute, Walking On opens conversation around topics often avoided, encouraging healing and connection across diverse audiences.
The Story
Walking On began as a quiet conversation about life, loss, and the unseen moments that connect us all. Rooted in Indigenous knowledge and lived experience, the film follows Muscogee Creek Nation flute player Karrie Young as she shares the meaning of “walking on” — a spiritual transition honored through music, ceremony, and presence. Rather than explaining or interpreting, the film listens. It creates space for reflection, allowing the viewer to witness how sound, land, and tradition come together to honor those who have passed and those who remain.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring Walking On to life through intentional storytelling that preserves and uplifts Indigenous voices, traditions, and lived experience. We are committed to producing a high-quality documentary that honors cultural integrity while reaching wide audiences through film festivals, educational screenings, and community partnerships. Funding support enables us to responsibly document this story, compensate artists and cultural contributors fairly, and ensure the film is shared in ways that foster understanding, dialogue, and healing across communities.
