HI! I'm Taio Gelina
I'm a 17 year old Mohawk artist and actor. I want to carve out a place in the film and television industry for Native creatives not to feel obligated to limit themselves to only telling and writing stories about the Native struggle and experience. Yes, those are important, but part of the contemporary Native experience is taking part in more modern forms of media and pop culture.
'The Nicole Summers Case' Show Bible
This project is the very first show bible I ever created, for my scripting class. A show bible is a collection of descriptions and visual aids that would entice producers and directors to invest capital into cinematic projects.

Zombie Cheerleaders
Zombie Cheerleaders is a raunchy, fast paced cartoon about the struggles of the average zombie-cheerleader hybrid and what it means to co-exist with people who either fear you or hate you. While it's chock-full of jokes and witty one-liners, it is also a strong commentary on how segregated minorty groups may feel, even in the post-civil rights movement era.

Jason's World
Jason's World is a representation of what every loner student in high school goes through. Failure to be understood and appreciated by our peers and the desire to escape somewhere, anywhere, where we might be accepted.
