AN INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION STUDIO
We collaborate with local cast and crew members to create impactful films — building community & sharing meaningful stories.
Walking the Red Road
In Lakota tradition, the Red Road symbolizes a life of harmony and balance. Guided by the prayer “Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ” or “All My Relations” — we are reminded of our sacred interconnectedness and the call to walk in alignment with that truth.
Through every film we create, we strive to spark connection, foster understanding, and reveal universal truths so that we may journey together down this road home.
-Kersten, Founder of Red Road Films
