This past Indigenous Peopleโs day, I had the privilege to see an inspiring screening of Sundance short films by Indigenous filmmakers- since then Iโve been working on compiling an โIndigenous Short Film Indexโ of works available online, and wanted to share with you all!
It is ever-growing, as there is are so many more stories to accompany- please feel free to send any & all recommendations my way to continue adding to the collection!
Most works are free, but I also do urge you to purchase film licenses & rentals to both watch & support$$ the filmmakers and tribes & folks collaborated with.
Film holds so much power, and these are stories I believe everybody should watch & listen deeply to (The link is in my bio) แจ เฝผ โผ

Photographs that we took on a late January night before a blizzard, improved and inspired by conversations about memory & letting go. We each embodied the spirit of things lost, in order to welcome them back into the room.

Just after the Spring Equinox, my friends, Audrey, Entifan, Grace, & I were hanging out all together for the first time, and the world seemed to open up.
We found a pile of items on a street in Brookline & were welcomed into the home of a man named Steve who recently passed away. His friends were gifting off all of his things.
My three friends gathered around the piano and began to improvise. The sun came out in such synchronized timing for their voices. I was honored to capture it ~ ๐
Thank you for the gifts of friendship & music & Spring ๐คฃ.๐ฅง.๐กผ.โ
