Reclaiming Narratives.
Redefining Futures.
About
Off The Rez Media is a Native-led media arts platform rooted in truth-telling, resistance, and reclamation. Through film production, community screenings, education, and facilitated discussion, the work challenges harmful narratives, preserves Indigenous cultural memory, and amplifies voices too often excluded from history and media.
Founded by filmmaker Regina Dezbah Simons, MFA (Diné, Nakoda, Dakota), Off The Rez Media creates space for Native creators, youth, and elders to share their stories through film, public screenings, conversations, and educational programming. The platform centers Native representation in film and media and supports Indigenous storytelling led by lived experience. Projects are developed intentionally and evolve through community need, collaboration, and care.
