Miko Revereza is the recipient of the 2021 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Filmmaking. Miko Revereza is an award-winning experimental film and video artist based in Los Angeles. Since relocating from Manila as a child, he has lived as an undocumented person in the United States. Spanning short films, gallery installations, and music videos, Revereza’s body of work—including his first feature-length work, No Data Plan (2019), shot entirely on a cross-country train journey—examines the process of documenting the undocumented, and explores themes of diaspora, colonialism, and Americanization. He also makes music videos and live video art installations for Los Angeles’s experimental music scene.
The Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promise are awarded to young immigrant scientists and artists in the United States whose early career work represents a profound advance in their respective fields. Each Creative Promise Prizewinner receives a cash prize of $50,000.
