WHAT WE DO
-
PRODUCTION
We support the creation of original Indigenous content made by Indigenous creators. We pair modern technology with the ancient ancestral art of storytelling to create content for both Native and non-Native audiences.
-
CULTURAL CONSULTATION
Wee believe that appropriate and accurate representation of Indigenous peoples in media is important. By providing sensitive and mindful consultation on Indigenous culture and community, we work towards a more inclusive future.
-
IMPACT PRODUCTION
Creating long-lasting, palpable impact through the art of cinema is part of our foundation. We strive to increase awareness of issues and encourage positive change by helping filmmakers achieve their visions of impact.
