What are lifeways?
Lifeways are the ways we learn to live with one another, with place, and with the living world around us. They emerge through shared practices, relationships, knowledge, values, and stories, shaping how communities make meaning and imagine what it means to live well.
Lifeways are diverse, evolving, and often carried across generations. At Lifeways Studio, we believe paying attention to these ways of living can help us remember what has been disrupted, honor what endures, and imagine other ways of being together.
About me
Hi, I’m Steven Salcido.
My journey into the world of storytelling has been far from typical, and it's been a remarkable adventure fueled by curiosity and a thirst for challenge. I kicked off my professional journey as an automotive technician, driven by my love for solving complex problems. I learned the importance of setting clear expectations and maintaining an efficient workflow.
But my curiosity for life was insatiable. That's when I made the decision to pursue higher education. I majored in History and, always wanting to stay hands-on, I minored in Syro-Palestinian Archaeology. It was during this phase that I discovered my deep passion for people, travel, and storytelling. As I neared the end of my studies, I was laser focused on a career as a Cultural Anthropologist, until I was swept up by the DSLR Revolution. Since then, I've never looked back.
Filmmaking has been the perfect outlet for me to seamlessly blend all of my passions. Over the course of my 13-year career,I've had the incredible privilege of working as a Director, Cinematographer, Editor, and Colorist on a wide range of projects, including commercials, documentaries, web series, and corporate productions. It's been an incredible journey, and I can't wait to see where it leads next.
