Dewi Sungai Marquis-Houston is a mixed-race Native Bornean (Ngaju Dayak, Banjarese, Sundanese, English) mother, wife, and filmmaker who was born in Indonesia, adopted as an infant by white American parents, renamed “Amy" (a name she has since rescinded to reclaim her birth name), and raised in the U.S. in white suburbia. Dewi's experiences as a transracial adoptee led her to a filmmaking career that centers marginalized voices and challenges narratives spun from white supremacy culture and colonialist worldviews. As an Indigenous transnational adoptee, being in community and collaborating with Native people across the U.S. has helped her heal from the impact of colonization on her own life and lineage. Dewi is a proud member of A-Doc, Brown Girls Doc Mafia, BIPOC Editors, Creative Nations, Kin Theory, and Mountain Media Arts Collective, and was an inaugural fellow at Denver-based Cine Fe.
