Support Native Stories in
the Lincoln Community!

Our mission is to share Native stories with the world that represent the cultures, experiences, and values of American Indian and Alaska Natives.

 

Together, we share these stories with today's youth and tomorrow's leaders. Investing in mentorships and fellowships, we are at the forefront of educating students for their careers in media, as well as providing documentaries of accurate, authentic historical and current day events for PBS stations and today's students.

 

Formerly, Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) Vision Maker Media, a national organization has been located in Lincoln, Nebr., for 38 years!

 

The Vision Maker Film Festival is our way of giving back to the Lincoln area.

 


Vision Maker Media shares Native stories with the world that represent the cultures, experiences, and values of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Founded in 1977, Vision Maker Media, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) which receives major funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, nurtures creativity for development of new projects, partnerships, and funding. Vision Maker Media is the premier source for quality Native American and Pacific Islander educational and home videos. All aspects of our programs encourage the involvement of young people to learn more about careers in the media--to be the next generation of storytellers. Located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, we offer student employment and internships. For more information, visit www.visionmakermedia.org.

About Lincoln's Vision Maker Film Festival
"When 30 to 50 percent of Native youth are failing to graduate high school, the number of people able to have a career in filmmaking is very low," said Executive Director Shirley K. Sneve. "Many filmmakers still choose to live on their home reservations, which are not hot spots for finding film financing."

"We do this Festival every other year to showcase our work to area residents and to bring local and non-local Native filmmakers into classrooms to hold workshops and share their stories."
