Kymon Greyhorse is a Tongan and Diné award-winning writer-director from Albuquerque, New Mexico. His debut short, I AM HOME, premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and led to a collaboration with renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz for IKEA. The film streamed on AMC+ as part of the Indigenous Rising Stars collection.
A 2022 Sundance Indigenous alum and 2023 HuffPost Culture Shifter, Greyhorse tells stories rooted in Polynesian and Indigenous identity while pushing his artistic range. In 2024, he developed KOPE, a psychological horror-noir at NYU TISCH's Graduate Film Directing Lab, exploring new storytelling territory.
Greyhorse was a top 10 finalist in the 2025 Tyler Perry Studios Dream Collective, traveling to Atlanta to pitch KAKALA, a coming-of-age story about a Tongan teen navigating tradition and identity, while completing a 10-day intensive on the studio lot, working with actors, crews, and mentors to refine his directing skills.
