Lori Balderas

Lori Balderas is a multifaceted Producer with a background ensued with a cultural education and awareness gifted to her by her father, Andrew Bisaccia. A prolific anthropologist, scientist, educator, author and mentor. His worldwide travel included living among the few remaining primitive cultures of our modern world. Lori gained the privilege of living with the Fijian and Samoan peoples in the early 1980's which gave her a perspective ripe for the adventurous. Lori's father also taught her the ways of Bushcraft and the respect of Native North American Indigenous way of life, which gives her great pride to this day. In 1990, Lori experienced a tragic automobile accident while she was 7 1/2 months pregnant. Fortunately her child Kaylie survived, but unfortunately left Lori a partial quadriplegic. Although the physical trajectory of her life was forever changed, her determination to succeed increased multifold. Learning to walk, live and provide for her three children gave her a renewed way to thrive. A determination she learned from her father early in life. Lori's artistic and cultural sensibilities blossomed in commercial photography and filmmaking and have been a blessing to the multitude of commercials, music videos and documentaries that she and her Native American husband, Simon Balderas have produced in their company since 2016.
