A grey hair appeared, and with it, every story I thought I’d buried.
Grey is a hybrid short film weaving fiction, documentary, and experimental film elements. The story confronts the violent legacy of a non-Native ancestor and explores how inherited pain does not define one’s identity. With poetic visuals and internal reflection, Grey becomes an act of resistance and reclamation.

Pretendian - A provocative tale about identity, ambition, and the far-reaching consequences of ones actions.
Synopsis: At the center is Cheyenne Deer, a talented and successful actor, convinced she is entitled to more than the world has given her, including passing a Native American (Navajo). Cheyenne is "ethnically ambiguous," so she feels there is nothing wrong with performing or playing the part of another race. For Cheyenne, lines blur between fiction and reality as she slips on the mask of deceit. After all, people see what they want to see.

S.O.L. - An experimental documentary by Regina Simons
Overview: S.O.L. stands for both “Statute of Limitations” and “Shit Outta Luck,” capturing the frustration, injustice, and resilience inherent in healing from trauma. The documentary uses a blend of visual storytelling, spoken word, and archival imagery to dissect the emotional and psychological layers of surviving and thriving after trauma. The film presents healing as an uneven, cyclical process, challenging the notion of closure while emphasizing self-compassion and growth.
