Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
Create a documentary I am passionate about, Native American art, which will allow me to grow my skills as a filmmaker and a producer. Producing a high quality documentary that showcases my talents as a producer and editor. This documentary is something I can use to produce in the professional world and be a sort of calling card. It will advance my career. 2: I plan to screen Rabbit at several venues in the Twin Cities…including All My Relations Gallery, which features Native American contemporary artists and Intermedia Arts Indigenous Voices series. I am planning on submitting this film to various festivals, including the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Film Festival and the MNTV program that is broadcast on Twin Cities Public Television every year.
I feel like I am taken seriously as a journalist by my peers and I feel confidence in myself to complete this work. I was able to work with a very talented producer and editor. I also developed better production skills myself and feel that I can complete this work and any other short documentary project that I choose to complete. Because of this grant I was able to purchase equipment I needed in order to complete this project and am now able to use that equipment for other work, which advances my career as a journalist and as a documentary filmmaker.
