Spilchuck, Author: "A Cup Of Chicken Soup For The
Soul"
"We have had the honor of selling
more than 60 million copies of our book and I encourage
each one of our readers to see "Christmas In The
Clouds". It is chicken soup for the movie watcher's
soul. It will leave you feeling better about yourself
- and the world in general."

Variety Special Issue:
The Independents
"This sweet-spirited comedy nimbly
defies a number of categories. It's set on an Indian
reservation, with a predominately American Indian cast,
but it is by no means a generic or preachy "ethnic"
movie." |

"A film about love and community that
also makes us laugh. Perfect for this day in age!"
Paul Zaentz, Producer
"I laughed out loud when a Native
translation for 'hello' turns out to be an apology for flatulence,
and anytime you can make a shirtless scene featuring M. Emmet
Walsh work, you're definitely doing something right. Kate
Montgomery also demonstrates a good flair for subtle comic
scenes."
Marin Independent Journal
"A quirky and entertaining romantic comedy
starring a cast of mostly Native American actors... the film
doesn't focus on specifically Native American themes; rather
it spotlights people with universal joys and struggles."
The Oakland Tribune
"Kate Montgomery's directorial debut is
a classic screwball romantic comedy worthy of Frank Capra
or Howard Hawks."
"The Vancouver International
Film Festival"
"A top-notch romantic comedy!"
"...Christmas In The Clouds is just as good as any romantic
comedy Sandra Bullock might ever star in." "...It
has all the elements of a blockbuster... but it also has heart
and soul."
Adrirondack Free Enterprise
"Hilarious plot blends Native culture with 21rst Century
reality."
Akwesasne Phoenix
"A winner! The audience absolutely loved
this film!"
Andy Friedenberg
Director of the Cinema Society of San Diego
"Christmas In The Clouds" is
my new favorite movie!"
John Trudell,
Native American Poet & Activist
"In Kate Montgomery's romantic feature, Native Americans
are neither iconic nor evil, neither virtuous seers nor monotone
drunks. They are flawed and funny people. Just people."
Telluride Weekly Planet
"I screened this in L.A. with a
mostly non-Native audience and they absolutely loved it. This
is a human story that transcends racial steroetypes. It should
cross over to general audiences with ease!"
Greg Sarris, Chairman, Federated
Indians of Graton Rancheria
Writer, Co-Executive Producer "Grand Avenue" (HBO)
"I am hoping "Christmas In The Clouds"
will change the prevailing attitude that all movies about
American Indian people must be period pieces or tragic modern
dramas".
Mike Smith, (Lakota), Founder, The
American Indian Film Festival
