I'm a Comanche documentary filmmaker based in Los Angeles. I co-directed and co-produced "The Creek Runs Red", a one hour film that aired on the PBS series, Independent Lens in 2007. I have also co-produced an episode for the PBS American Experience series, "We Shall Remain", about the siege of Wounded Knee, SD in 1973. Currently, I am in production on a film about Native rights activist, LaDonna Harris. In addition to these projects, I have worked on shows for A&E, Discovery Channel and LTN Los Angeles and worked as a film programmer for AFI FEST and the Los Angeles Film Festival.
I am fist generations Peruvian American who has the good fortune to also have mixed Native American heritage through relatives in Texas and New Mexico.
My mother's people Scarborough's who intermarried with tribes in Texas (unknown) and New Mexico (unknown) and came all the way to California right about statehood.
My father's family is 50% Inka from Lima, Peru with strong ties to the mountain villages, Cusco, etc.
A history enthusiast my entire life, once I began in production I also began exploring my heritage and getting a focus on where and when and how my family ties played a part IN history and the indigenous people's until they became part of them.
I am the project developer for Magic Hair Studios in Los Angeles, CA.

I'm a contemporary choreographer originally from New England with roots in coastal maine, living in LA. i've no idea of my blood quantum, but just recognize this as one many splinters of my very complicated ethnic background.
my work as a dancer/choreographer is very very important to me. I have dreams of bringing the work to indian country, working with teenagers, elders, ordinary people, trained, untrained, joining styles. I've a few works in my rep devoted to Indian thought, Under the Drum, and Mitakuye Oyas'in. I love listening to AIROS every day it helps me feel connected. thanks Sarah (asemaakwe)
