During her presentation, Charine will screen two of her acclaimed short films: River Bank (Pō-Kehgeh), which is the first narrative fiction film approved by San Ildefonso Pueblo to be filmed on Tribal lands since the 1980’s, and is told using an Indigenous story structure, inspired by traditional Tewa stories. Her second film, This Land Carries Us, is a reflection of Tewa people and land that was produced for the recent exhibition ‘Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country’ at the Georgia O'Keefe Museum.

She is a 2024 Sundance Institute Native Lab Fellow for her episodic project, NDN Time. Her esteemed short doc Our Quiyo: Maria Martinez (2022) premiered at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and was acquired by AT&T, Comcast Xfinity, Millicent Rogers Museum, and The Heard Museum. Charine’s debut narrative fiction short film, River Bank (Pō-Kehgeh), received the Achievement in Short Filmmaking Award at the 2023 LA SKINS FEST. She is a Producer for the Native Lens project, a crowdsourced collaboration by KSUT Tribal Radio and Rocky Mountain PBS.
