Adam Prieto is a first-generation Mexican-American filmmaker, photographer and video editor from the San Francisco Bay Area, focused on capturing the essence of his roots and heritage in his work. We featured his project about the world of escaramuza, a sport that sees cowgirls blend equestrian mastery with choreography, poise and pageantry, and discovered how, as he established a deeper connection with the team of women, he uncovered a story of strength, empowerment and togetherness that reconnected him to his roots.
