FILM: THE WATER FLOWS ALWAYS
Currently enrolled in the Documentary Program at San Francisco State University, Gina has been involved in filmmaking and visual storytelling since she was a High School student. Having grown up on the Agua Caliente Reservation in Palm Springs, California, she has explored stories and themes relating to the Mojave Desert ecosystem and the work of Tribal Nations in Southern California and Arizona to protect their land and water rights. She has produced several student films and independent projects about her experiences as a young Cahuilla and Cupeño woman, and has served as a volunteer at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for the past five years. Tuhaymani’Chi Pal Waniqa is her first film festival submission.
