Vision Maker Media’s Open House on December 10 was a vibrant celebration of Native storytelling and a showcase of the organization’s remarkable accomplishments in 2024. Held at the newly unveiled Cornhusker Plaza office, the event provided an inspiring and welcoming space for collaboration, connection, and creativity. The evening brought together a dynamic gathering of community members, filmmakers, supporters, and advocates for Native voices in media.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the annual Frank Blythe Award for Media Excellence, an honor named after Vision Maker Media’s founding Executive Director. This year, the award recognized the exceptional talents of two emerging Native filmmakers: Josiah W. Jones and Kanesia McGlashan-Price. Their dedication, creativity, and commitment to authentic storytelling exemplify the next generation of Native voices poised to make a lasting impact on the media industry.
The Open House was not just a reflection on the successes of the past year, but a powerful reminder of the potential and promise that lies ahead for Native storytelling.
Thank you to all who attended our Open House!
