I am a young Dine' filmmaker. I have recently released a film about my ancestors struggles during the time of the Long Walk called, "In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman." Which is currently in 10 film festivals and has shown in Europe as well. I was trained by Outta Your Backpack Media in Flagstaff and Klee Benally. I am a director/producer/cinematographer/writer and actor/singer. You can see my professional resume at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3053119/

My husband Roger an I produce music videos for Native American people,We want the Native american people to be more aware of the services Roger provides for their enjoyment. We have music videos on Utube at this time. We are in the process of having a TV station called SKYEAGLE. We are in need of funding to keep pushing on for the sucess of this vision for our people, we want so much more awareness of the great gifts they have. If there is a direction you can give to make things go easier it would be most helpful. Thank You, Charlene
My name is Elena Perez. I'm from Santa Fe, NM. My family is from Picuris and Cochiti Pueblos. I'm 25 years old. I'm finishing up a dual degree in Audio Production Technologies and Music Business at Mesa Community College in Mesa, AZ. My dream is to own and operate an independent record label that identifies, promotes, produces, and distributes native artists whose passion is expressed through popular music genres, i.e. country, hip hop, death metal, and punk. Right now I'm working on gaining experience and establishing a strong social network with artists, studios, producers, labels, etc. I also do promotions for Sierra Broadcasting in Scottsdale, AZ.
