New Mexico Magazine.
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING of Shaandiin Tome’s short film Mud (Hashtl’ishnii), you notice the graininess. It’s shot on 16-millimeter film, a bold aesthetic choice that is not easy to pull off. You’re not merely filling a card with digital info. Each shot and performance must be planned to avoid burning through film and your budget. Tome takes capable command of her set, capturing stark imagery and memorable performances. Shot in Gallup and on the Navajo Nation, the film screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018 and placed Tome among a growing number of Indigenous moviemakers laying claim to their stories.
