Evan James Atwood
is a queer Indigenous filmmaker and photographer who grew up in northwestern town of Farmington, New Mexico. As a artist, he advocates for more diversity and focuses on amplifying marginalized voices. His first short film, Hollow Veins (2015) being filmed in Abiquiú, NM focuses on mental health issues and contrast with pharmacy drugs.
The work expresses a fascination of visualizing internal emotions. Using color, surrealism, and symbolism to express human vulnerability, communication, and beauty. As well as the relationship we are constantly building with ourselves, changing as time passes us by.
Located in Portland, OR.
