Bren Wyona

Bren Wyona is a filmmaker born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and raised in Southern California. Their work explores shifting class landscapes, identity loss through intergenerational violence, and communal recovery through hybrid narrative and documentary media.

Their latest short film, that with which ringing is done, held above, in place—supported by Untitled Filmmaker Organization (UFO) and Zeiss—is a dynamic road trip documentary that investigates their own Diné ancestors and the Indian Child Welfare Act through the stronghold lens of Cowboy and Indian cinema.
