Silver Bullet Productions

Celebrating 20 Years of Empowering
Tribal Communities Through Film

The story of Silver Bullet Productions began over 20 years ago, after a conversation with New Mexico’s tribal educators seeking solutions to problems critical for the survival of tribal history and culture. How to excite students, stop the epidemic of soaring dropout rates, and preserve their culture, history, and language? Nothing existed in 2004 that offered solutions.

Fortunately, New Mexico was entering an age of filmmaking. Pam Pierce and her husband, Robert Pierce, saw the opportunity for tribal elders, parents, and youth to use Film as a vehicle for change and engage in learning enlightened thinking, and preservation of a rich culture overlooked by traditional New Mexico curriculum.

The non-profit Silver Bullet Productions (named for the mythical solution for impossible problems) was created, with education and film as the silver bullets. READ MORE

We create relevant educational experiences in two ways:

 

We produce student workshops in writing and filmmaking, and we donate new camera equipment to the school. Students are able to continue practicing their story telling and preserving their cultural heritage through film.

We create award-winning documentaries that expose esoteric topics, shatter stereotypes and expand cultural preservation.

The entire process from Silver Bullet from start to finish was truly a joy. The professionalism, the courtesy, the minor and major details made me appreciate the documentary that much more. It has brought people together that normally would not have fellowship with one another.

This positive experience was life inspiring for several of my students. Not only were they given the opportunity to reflect on what our town really is, they were encouraged to think about their role in the community.
