Lese Skidmore

Edmonton, AB
Director, Editor, Producer

I am a First Nations woman of Anishinaabe and German/Canadian decent, and a member of Roseau River First Nation in Manitoba. Influential themes in my work have included Indigenous arts, knowledge, storytelling, and justice. There is a synergy in all these themes that I am passionate about, they are reviving, reclaiming, and renewing. I currently produce at BearPaw Media and Education. As a producer, director and editor with over a decade of experience, I have worked on broadcast media series, non-profit causes and short artistic projects. No More Kîyâm and (Re)claiming Indian Status, that I produced and directed, won Best Educational Production at the Alberta Film and Television Awards in 2023 and 2021 respectively.
