“Over the past few years, we have seen the huge success of Native content on streaming platforms — the demand for the nuance and complexity that Native-led shows bring to the screen is undeniable,” IllumiNative founder and executive director Crystal Echo Hawk said in a statement. “In order to meet this demand, we have to ensure Native creatives are provided with the resources and opportunities to succeed in an industry that has historically forgotten or dismissed Native peoples.
We’re so thrilled to expand our work with Amazon Studios on this exciting collaboration, to uplift new and emerging Native and Indigenous TV directors and ensure they not only break into the industry but thrive.”While still a film production MFA student at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Razelle Benally teamed with Matthew Galkin to direct the recent Showtime docuseries.
