About Us.

"I’m Seth, a Lakota creative producer based in Eagle Butte, SD, on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe reservation. My Lakota cultural values and upbringing shape the way I approach storytelling, using media to uplift communities, preserve culture, and amplify underrepresented voices. I picked up my first camera at 16—my first subject was the moon. Since then, my work has expanded to photography, videography, and drone footage."  - Seth

As the founder of Ota Au Films, a Native-led media collective, I collaborate with grassroots organizations, non-profits, and cultural initiatives to capture and share authentic narratives. Through documentaries, event coverage, and creative visual storytelling, I strive to ensure impactful stories are seen and heard. Committed to supporting important causes, I often provide media services at little to no cost. At Ota Au Films, we believe in the power of media to inspire change, build connections, and create a lasting impact.
