Onöndowa'ga:' (Seneca) Filmmaker & Multimedia Artist

Caleb G. Abrams is an Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) father, filmmaker, and multimedia artist based out of present-day Brantford, Ontario and Buffalo, New York. Raised on the Onöndowa'ga:' territory of Ohi:yo', much of his work pushes back against settler-colonial narratives of place and power, while creating space for Indigenous stories of truth, community, and connectedness.

In addition to writing, directing, and producing his own short films, Abrams has also created work in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, Vision Maker Media, Toward Castle Films, Skipping Stone Pictures, Buffalo & Toronto Public Media, City Lore, the Aunties Dandelion Collective, Odawi Law PLLC, the Seneca Nation of Indians, and the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum. In 2021, he served as a consultant on the SHOWTIME special event series, "Dexter: New Blood" (2021). An experienced public speaker, Abrams has presented his work at venues throughout Hodinohson:ni’ country,i.e. the northeast United States and southern Ontario. His forthcoming short film, The Burning of My Coldspring Home, is scheduled for completion Summer 2024.
