Wanting to celebrate and showcase Native American cultural tradition, Hamilton says “More Than Frybread is a comedy to showcase nationalism and inter-tribal competition” [2] This 90 minute mockumentary tells the story of the first ever annual World Wide Frybread Association (WWFA) Arizona Chapter State Championship in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The mockumentary focuses on 6 of the contestants: Buddy Begay (Navajo), Sharmayne Cruz (Tohono O'odham), Sammy Powsky (Hualapai), twin sister team Sunshine and Stormy Smith (Yavapai-Apache) and Betti Muchvo (Hopi).
[3] This story starts with Buddy Begay and his food truck where he sold fry bread on his family's reservation in Arizona.
The title and concept of this film was heavily influenced by the post-colonial native dish frybread which has a daunting and sad history.
[8] This film's success and great feedback inspired Hamilton to create a spin off of the show as a comedy called "Frybread".
Wanting to continue to display Native Americans through various characters and narratives, Hamilton has made four contemporary films; the others are “Pete and Cleo (2010), “Blue Gap Boyz” (2008) and Turquoise Rose (2007).
