 | My name is Maikaru and I am a small production filmmaker based in Seattle.
A little about me, I am a Seattle human traffick survivor and was fortunate enough to have a documentary short made about my life. We went on to win at Seattle International Film Festival 2014 for Best Documentary short, and ended up being one spot away from being nominated for an Academy award.
This lead to my inspiration to continue storytelling. I started my small small production company called Mainasty Productions, which is a play on my known name Maikaru and dynasty, me wanting to build a family as I didn't get to know my family.
My goal is to increase diversity and inclusion across media, no narrative is too small or less important than another. |
