Guthrie is an actor, filmmaker and philanthropist. His awards include Outstanding Actor at the Image Nation Film Festival, Best Actor & Best Live Short at The American Indian Film Festival and Best Director at the West Coast American Indian Music Awards. He has also been honored by the Potlatch Foundation for representing the Native American culture with authenticity in film. While continuing to explore new artistic challenges, Guthrie is using his professional success as a vehicle for positive change. His most recent filmmaking challenge is an award winning film titled Given To Walk. It's a survival story about the unique federal jurisdictional nightmare on Indian reservations that can trap Native American women into permanent Domestic Violence situations by non-native perpetrators. Given To Walk was so pertinent to current political issues that it screened at the White House before President Obama signed the Tribal Law and Order Act. Guthrie recently had the privilege of working with a rare list of renowned artists via the Sundance Filmmaker's Labs. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert Redford, Ed Harris and Stanley Tucci were among his mentors for the story telling boot camp. His turn to mentor, Guthrie toured with The American Indian Film Institute to reservations across the US. The deprived youth discovered a sense of strength through media literacy. Inspired by them to help revitalize the Native way of life, Guthrie is now in development with multiple tribal councils from Canada, US and Mexico. Together they will make a series of children shows & toy products rich with Native American Arts, humanities and language for early childhood development. Guthrie's most unforgettable starring character is Charlie Silvercloud III in Expiration Date, a film that has won over 37 awards internationally including Best Actor. Strengthened by the love of his wife and two children, Guthrie continues his creative growth and development while living and working in Los Angeles.
