Rude Girl Film Project

About

The mission is to develop and produce movies for Natives by Natives; create authentic Native stories; cast Native actors; and brand the concept to audiences across the world promoting positive and heroic images of Indigenous peoples through television and movies. Our current project, Rude Girl, is being produced, and will soon be filmed to showcase the first Native American superhero drama with an extra young adult comic book featuring the Zuni language. The project will introduce viewers to the cultural understanding of Zuni language and tradition, as well as provide movie-goers with an authentic experience that sparks conversation and ignites passion for accurate Native American realities. Indigenous peoples must begin to see themselves in positive roles that portray culturally relevant narratives and showcase accurate culture and language.
