Some stories entertain. Others preserve history, challenge assumptions, and encourage readers to see the world through a different lens. For more than twenty-five years, Kiersten Dunbar Chace has used both film and literature to explore those deeper conversations through work focused on memory, identity, cultural truth, and the voices that are too often overlooked.
As an award-winning independent filmmaker, author, and human rights advocate, Kiersten brings a unique perspective to storytelling. Her creative work reflects a commitment to understanding people, places, and histories with care and authenticity. Whether behind a camera or on the page, she seeks to illuminate stories that connect personal experience with broader cultural narratives.
Visitors to Scottsdale Book Festival 2027 will have the opportunity to meet Kiersten, learn more about her literary and filmmaking projects, and discover how her experiences as a filmmaker, advocate, and researcher have shaped her approach to storytelling.
