Mohawk filmmaker Tracey Deer led the acclaimed dramedy Mohawk Girls, produced by Rezolution Pictures, to five award-winning seasons as its co-creator, director, and co-showrunner. She has worked with CBC, the National Film Board (NFB), and numerous independent production companies in both documentary and fiction. She was nominated four years in a row for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Direction in a Comedy Series for Mohawk Girls and has been honored at TIFF with the Birks Diamond Tribute Award. Tracey is currently in post on her debut feature Beans, a coming-of-age story of a young Mohawk girl during the Oka Crisis that was inspired by her own experiences. She began production right after returning from LA, where she was a writing co-EP on season 3 of the Netflix/CBC series Anne with an E. Her projects in development include a documentary with the NFB about the practicalities of achieving reconciliation and forgiveness and Inner City Girl, a feature about Aboriginal gang life, with Original Pictures.
