Pine Ridge, South Dakota


Home to the Oglala Lakota Nation. Through community building and traditional ceremonies, families in Pine Ridge remain resilient since time immemorial.

For decades, Lakota stories have been marginalized and stereotyped by Hollywood. The Outlast team believes change is overdue. The youth at Pine Ridge deserve for their voices and vision to be seen and recognized. Native youth need their creativity and stories uplifted and supported by community and allies. We are honored for our supportive donor community who directly supports our young, brilliant filmmakers.

Join us as we welcome the next generation of talented filmmakers.
