August 2008
 Nick
Clark (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde) joined Native
Lens, a Seattle youth media organization developed by Longhouse
Media in 2004. Clark has been producer, director, and actor in
a number of Longhouse Media projects. His short film Rez Life
was awarded a special jury prize at the 2006 Seattle International
Film Festival. In 2008 he was part of a cooperative team from
Native Lens that produced March Point, a feature documentary
which follows Clark and his friends as they discover filmmaking's
potential for positive expression. March Point has screened
widely and was selected by UNESCO as an example of indigenous
grassroots mobilization in response to climate change. Clark lives
on the Swinomish Indian Reservation in northwestern Washington
and is currently working as a filmmaker and as a youth media trainer
with Native Lens.
