ALERT
The COVID-19 Pandemic is having an alarming impact on New Mexico’s Pueblos and Tribes, which are experiencing higher infection rates per capita than most states. Please join Silver Bullet Productions and help Tribal leaders meet the most critical needs of their Communities by donating to one or all of the emergency funds below:

We create relevant educational experiences in two ways:
We produce student workshops in writing and filmmaking, and we donate new camera equipment to the school. Students are able to continue practicing their story telling and preserving their cultural heritage through film.
We create award-winning documentaries that expose esoteric topics, shatter stereotypes and expand cultural preservation.

However Wide the Sky: Places of Power
The history and spirituality of the Indigenous People of the American Southwest are deeply rooted in the Land. Since the beginning of time, they have been stewards and protectors of their home lands, past and present. These places intimately connect the People and their beliefs to the natural world. No place is ever abandoned, the landscape is forever living. This is their story, of the Land and who they are.
