I am a Native Filmmaker, raised in Europe (through no fault of my own) currently working with the American Indian Film Institute. I worked on many national and international programs in Broadcast and was trained by the BBC. My film, 'Coloring the Media' premiered at BAFTA (London) and at the AIFI's Film Festival in San Francisco. I have a unique story and have a million more to tell. I have just finished my screenplay, 'Ghosts of the Burning Sage' and am also Directing a doc, 'Celluloid Indians' for the American Indian Film Institute.
My background is in both producing and training media. I started at WGBH-Boston working in television and then added public radio to my experience. I've been a mentor/trainer for NPR's Next Generation Radio projects for 10 years - specializing in audio recording and mixing. Through that program I became a mentor for the Native American Journalists Association student projects. I'm currently a freelance Broadcast Engineer for KQED-Radio in San Francisco.
I'm also a videographer/editor working for new media startups here in the Bay Area. I own and operate a Sony PMW-EX1 XDCAM HD camera, as well as edit in Final Cut Studio and Adobe's Production Suite.
In addition I'm an indie film Cinematographer. I have several short films to my credit, as well as two feature-length productions where I was Director of Photography.
Programs Manager for the California Documentary Project, a grant for film, radio and new media, through the California Council for the Humanities.
