Gabz Norte is a Cahuilla & Cupeño filmmaker, photographer, and audiovisual archivist from the Los Coyotes reservation in Warner Springs, CA. Holding a BA in Film Studies from Pepperdine University and an MLIS from UCLA, her work focuses on the intersections of culture, identity, and memory between storytelling and the archival world with an emphasis on reimagining history, tradition, and experience through a Native lens. Their short films have screened in various Southern California festivals with featured photos as a part of Indigenous Photograph. Primarily specializing in special collections, home movies, and amateur media archiving, Gabz has worked on the preservation of a wide range of moving image community collections. Though working as an archivist full time, Gabz’s love lies in Old Hollywood and classic horror and is inspired by the unconventional, gothic, and absurd image. She aims to craft stories that center Native identity, culture, and existence within these aesthetics and expand the lexicon of Native science fiction and horror.
