I am an Indigenous multimedia documentarian born and raised on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. To date, I have spoken at USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, UCLA, California State Polytechnic University, Pitzer College, Cal Arts, UC-San Diego, UC-Riverside, UC-Irvine, Occidental College, Northwestern University and University of Oregon. My work presents personal stories of contemporary urban Indians in photography and film to commemorate the legacy of the Indian Relocation program, a U.S. federal program enacted to assimilate American Indians in the 1950s. My overall mission is to combat the idea of the static, stereotypical Indian portrayed so pervasively in all media. I want people to know that Indians are many nations with many stories. My photography portraits stand against prevalent stereotypes of American Indians in popular culture. Having grown up on a tribal reservation in Arizona my experience of Indian life was not reflected in popular culture. My work is to produce authentic portraits and stories of the persistence of Indian life in contemporary contexts. As a storyteller, I develops photographic narratives that illustrate the real stories of American Indians within their communities. My multimedia work reflects the perseverance of American Indian cultural identities today. I wish to produce living portraits of American Indians reflected through an indigenous aesthetic lens. I work as a talent consultant for various television networks. I have professionally produced five award winning films for the Southern California Indian Center’s InterTribal Entertainment multimedia program, co-created film workshops for Native youth, produced PSA’s for Fox Studio’s American Indian Summer Institute program, and co-hosted “Bringing the Circle Together,” a monthly showcase of Indigenous documentaries at the Japanese American National Museum National Center for Preservation of Democracy Tateuchi Forum in Los Angeles. Received a BA in American Indian Studies and Film Television from UCLA.

I’m a video filmer and editor based in Los Angeles, CA. I got my professional start working in house for The Berrics and have been making videos in the skateboarding industry for the last 16 years, for brands such as Nike SB, Adidas, Thrasher, Cory Kennedy, and Girl Skateboards. Years of filming skateboarding has taught me how to move fast, think quick, make it “look cool,” and always get the shot in focus. I specialize in working with niche equipment such as the VX 1000, Fish Eye lenses, and 16 mm film, but I’m also just as comfortable working with the most up to date digital equipment. I’m excited to branch out into a wider range range of commercial video projects and bring my wealth of experience from decades of filming skateboarding to the table. Whether I’m producing and filming projects, or working in post production with a team as an editor, I’m easy going, flexible, and always go above and beyond to get the job done right.

COREY CAO NGUYEN is an emerging Vietnamese American Cinematographer based in Los Angeles/Orange County who's shot for A24 and PBS. Nguyen prides himself on placing the story above all in his work and emphasizes in a naturalistic style that truthfully depicts characters in their world and builds empathy and emotion through light. This approach led Nguyen toward documentary work in his early career. FRAT HOUSE (2018 Dir. Nancy Nguyen), a film about the last gay bar in a homophobic town, and WITHIN THEIR GATES (2019 Dir. Matthew Goriachkovsky), a film about a survivor’s narration of his time at the Japanese American Internment camps, were early projects that pushed Nguyen to prioritize stories that centered the voices of the marginalized and oppressed. From there, Nguyen began to work internationally and directed and shot educational ecological documentaries all across the world. Working with rural students in the countrysides of Paraguay to sites of anti-colonial activism in South Africa, Nguyen gained a cosmopolitan perspective as both an artist and person. Now, Nguyen has shifted his focus toward narrative and commercial projects, but still focused on marginalized voices. HAJUN BLOOMS (2020, Dir. Mary Kim), an LGBTQ+ narrative short shot on 16mm about the abuses of the Christian Church toward young lesbian children, will premiere at the world-famous Austin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival as well as other festivals across America. When not on-set, Nguyen works to draw attention to injustice and systemic racism. He’s a show host for the progressive OUR SMALL MAJORITY podcast in which he directs and produces DO YOU KNOW, an audio storytelling episodic series that recreates and explains moments of anti-blackness that have gone untaught and ignored in American history.
