Indian Road Trip is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Allan W. Hopkins and released in 2020.[1] The film stars Ajuawak Kapashesit and Paul C. Grenier as Hank and Cody, two aimless young First Nations cousins in British Columbia who are planning a road trip to Vancouver's Wreck Beach, but after being caught in a petty crime they are forced to drive elder Hetta Yellow-Fly (Dale Hunter) to make peace with her estranged sister.[2]
A short version of the film was screened at the Whistler Film Festival in 2015, and was expanded into a feature film in 2016 after Hopkins was accepted into the festival's Screenwriters Lab.[3] It was shot in the Merritt area in 2017; however, Hopkins' post-production funding fell through, and the film was left in limbo until he was able to secure new funding from the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.[3]
The film premiered at Whistler in 2020, where Hopkins won the award for Best British Columbia Director and received an honorable mention for the Borsos Competition award for Best Screenplay.[4]
