Syd Horn is a Jane of all trades, a fearless conduit of novel authenticity. After writing her first short film, Migration, she began to develop her unique style of art direction, screenwriting, producing, and editing. She is passionate about building creative teams, and she is determined to progress her personal mission of delivering diverse narratives about humanity and its counterparts via film, written publication, live performance, and music, in hopes of moving her viewers and fellow collaborators toward kind curiosity, celebration of individuality, and a world who’s original, inclusive, and sustainable.

Olivia Luz Perillo is a documentary photographer, filmmaker, collage artist, and archivist whose work continues on themes of cultural storytelling, regional music, social justice, and ancestral healing between South Louisiana and the American Southwest, as well as capturing the micros and macros of the natural world. Her stylistic approach with color and light in each medium serve as a portal through space and time in repose. Her photography has been supported by Chanel, The New York Times, The Marshall Project, and Country Roads Magazine.

Syd + Olivia have made two documentaries together, Intention (2020) and Migration (2018), with other documentary and music video work into 2024. Honest Art has been supported by Panavision, TV5Monde, Cox Communications, Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, Lafayette Travel, Southern Screen, and Acadiana Center for the Arts since 2018.
