Becker (Navajo) is presently in post-production on
her second short film, Conversion and her first short film,
Flat, is currently screening in festivals. Becker was selected
for the Native Forum Filmmaker's Workshop at the 2005 Sundance
Film Festival to work on script development for a feature film.
She lives in New York City where she is studying for her MFA at
the Film Division of Columbia University, specializing in directing.
In 2004 she was an NMAI program intern at the Film and Video Center
in New York, and taught a summer course on narrative film production
for Native American high school students in New Mexico. Becker
was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and received a
BA in Anthropology from Brown University. She spent several years
working with Native youth both on the Navajo Nation and in Albuquerque
at Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute before deciding to
pursue filmmaking.
"I have always been fascinated by film. Recognizing the
lack of media reflecting the experience of Navajo youth, I decided
there was ample room for me to explore filmmaking. That got me
started. What keeps me going is the elusiveness of it. Filmmaking
is a craft that can never be mastered I'm constantly learning
with each new project, each new idea."
