Kymon Greyhorse is a Diné + Tongan + 2Spirit award-winning director and writer from Albuquerque, New Mexico. A descendant from the Salt (‘Áshįįhí) clan, and born for the Tongan people of Tongatapu, Tonga. His latest short film I AM HOME premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and is currently on the festival circuit worldwide.
Greyhorse is a 2022 Sundance Indigenous alum and was recently included in HuffPost’s 2023 Culture Shifters list. His work explores the human experience normalizing Indigenous/Polynesian stories and existence. He is honored to hold a BFA degree in Film & Digital Arts from UNM. He wants his future films to inspire and empower yearning voices that have been silenced for too long.
Written during the pandemic, a time of loneliness and isolation, a search for belonging, a journey of finding ‘home’. A poetic reflection of who I am, where I come from, and where I will go.
Dedicated to the matriarchal figures in my life. All powerful women that have transcended tradition, epitomized resilience, strength and family. This film offers you all the basic necessities needed to always carry ‘home’ with you.
