REGINA SIMONS

Pretendian: A seductive tale about identity, ambition, and the cost of becoming what people want to see.

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.
