The Official Mile Post 398 trailer is now available for viewing and download. The film has been in production for nearly six months and is due to premiere in January 2007. Mile Post 398 incorporates an all Navajo cast and crew and was written and directed by Navajo film makers Shonie and Andee De La Rosa of Kayenta , Arizona . The film was shot entirely on the Navajo Nation and utilized every aspect of resources available on the Navajo Nation to produce. Many films in the past and present depicting the Navajo vary rarely include Navajos portraying themselves, many people producing these films such as the director, writer, etc are not even Navajo, much less even Native. Mile Post 398 is the very first of its kind to incorporate an all Navajo cast and crew. As the film makers, this is something we are very proud of. Many have said that the Navajo do not have the talent nor the resources to produce such a film, we hope this sets the record strait for those that have doubted us as people with out talent and resources. Mile Post 398 takes place in present time in Kayenta , Arizona with a thirty something Navajo guy named Cloyd. One day Cloyd decides to try and turn his life around by trying to quit his problematic drinking. He soon realizes that this is easier said than done. Mile Post 398 includes a very talented cast consisting of: Lawson "Beau" Benally -- Cloyd Gerald Vandever -- Jimmy James Junes -- Marty Kim White -- Lorraine Ernest David Tsosie III -- Ray KJ White -- Michael Duwayne Lake -- Steve James Cee Vanwinkle -- Albert Shaylynn Gilmore -- Gloria Ruth Bradley -- Cloyds Auntie Billy Crawley II -- Himself Luanne Bradley -- Cloyds Sister-in law Please take some time to visit the official Mile Post 398 web site and view the official trailer as well as additional information and production photos of Mile Post 398.
