Marie-Michele was born at 8:51 a.m. at the crossroads of French, English and Six Nations territories, from one of Quebec's oldest families, descending from French pionners and Nipissing/Algonquin women. She spent her first 20 some years in Montreal, where she graduated cum laude from Concordia University with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Arts/Video Art.

A year long parenthesis in South Australia during her formative years expanded her horizons to the global scene. It is that year that she started waxing poetics through the lense of a vintage Nikormate, family heirloom.

The following years took her on various trips throughout the Old and the New World, which she doumented through her video journals inspired by 1920s film-poems.

After falling in love with the desert light of New Mexico, Marie-Michele began an ongoing collaboration with beautiful Pueblo/Dine documentary filmmaker Beverly Singer, who brought her to work with her on various projects from a documentary on Decolonizing Education to a Digital Cinema Bootcamp for youth from the surrounding reservations.

Marie-Michele was over the past few years blessed to work with a number of great artists of all cultures, tribes and walkes of life, from shooting music videos for indigenous hiphop collective (Culture Shock Camp) to doing contemporary dance films ( Readymade Dance Theatre Company), and artist portraits (Navajo jeweler Ray Tracey, Japanese beading artist Eri Imamura).

Her recent body of work has taken her walking across the United States, as she was invited to direct the official film of The Longest Walk, a historical five month prayer walk which was done in 1978 and again in 2008, in the name of protecting Mother Earth, sacred sites the sacredness of all life.

Other recent projects have involved The Great Anishnabe Canoe Race/Yamamoto Cup, which has taken her to Japan late 2008 to document the cultural exchanges between Japanese and Native American culture which have been taking place for years through the Nowa Cumig Institute.

She is currently working on a new series of work called the Wonder Chambers, inspired by her winter travels to Japan, as well as starting to lay down tracks for her next hiphop music video.

Marie-Michele lives and works between Los Angeles, California and Corrales, New Mexico, and aims to contribute to society by producing inspiring films that deal with interconnectivity, the human & natural landscapes, peace & culture...

...using video as both an art form and the tool for a true cultural and humanistic revolution.
