I don’t worry myself with concerns with regards to this industry. I aim to be the change that I want to see; rather than complain that nothing has changed on a systemic level. Especially in regards to COVID and the political & social tensions that pulse about in our country today, this has taught me to… Read More @kingviktoria: What is your biggest concern with the future?

A defining moment in my life was when I learned about the power of art & its impact. I was involved in art in different aspects, never drawing a thread amongst them all; I am a classically trained pianist, singer, dancer and actress.

Be fearless and know that you have sisters in the audience who are standing by your vision, perspective and… Read More @realpbread @mistressredfilm: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?

A successful moment in my career so far is receiving Sundance Film Institute’s Native Filmmaker’s Lab Fellowship in 2019. I had the chance to workshop my project The Daily Life of Mistress Red with wonderful filmmakers such as Jennifer Reeder and Gregory Nava who directed my favorite childhood movie Selena (1997). I’m thankful for the… Read More @realpbread @mistressredfilm: What is a successful moment in your career so far?

My biggest concern with the future used to be whether people are ready for an indigenous female queer voice now my concern is whether COVID-19 has changed the way of filmmaking. I wonder if I’ll be able to work again and be able to get my hands on a camera soon. The pandemic has frozen… Read More @realpbread @mistressredfilm: What is your biggest concern with the future?
