In episode 10 we had the pleasure of sitting down with artist and filmmaker Miciana Alise. Miciana’s work ranges from screenwriting and graphic art to traditional Northwest Coast design, to videography. We discussed her current and past work in the Sundance Institute who champions and deeply supports Indigenous-created stories on a global scale.

Miciana’s feature script, Nancy’s Girls, led to 2019 and 2021 Sundance Institute Indigenous Program Fellowships. Her second feature, Fancy Dance (co-writer), lead to a 2021 Sundance Screenwriters Fellowship, 2021 SFFilmRainin Grant, was featured on the Indigenous List hosted by The Black List and the 2022 Wescripted Cannes Screenplay List. She is a 2022 Flaherty Fellow and Women at Sundance | Adobe Fellow.
