Fed up with harmful and stereotypical representation of Indigenous and Black peoples in popular media,
LT reached out to her friends and fellow film students and asked them if they wanted to “start a film camp?”. With the goal of combating the negative effects of poor and inaccurate representation, they created Outlast Film Camp, a space where Black and/or Indigenous youth could create and tell their own stories in a way that accurately and genuinely reflected their experiences and world views. Over the course of three months, they crowd-funded $7,500 and traveled to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota , where they hosted their first workshop at the Suanne Big Crow Boys and Girls Club.
