“Filmmakers have the power to heal the past by telling their stories.” Haile Gerima

Stories hold transformative power, and I believe the diverse experiences of our collective journeys deserve to be seen, heard, and understood. My filmmaking is rooted in the mission to write, produce, and direct films that amplify the voices of those who are often overlooked, shedding light on narratives that challenge, inspire, and heal.

Too often, Indigenous stories have been told through a non-Native lens. This outsider perspective has shaped narratives that are incomplete at best and harmful at worst. I aim to disrupt this pattern by centering Native voices and lived experiences. Reclaiming our stories on our terms.

I see filmmaking as a bridge between worlds: past and present, myth and memory, performance and identity. Through my work, I aim to share stories that empower voices and light a path toward a more inclusive future. Stories heal, especially the ones we dare to tell.
