By Any Other Name: An Exploration of Afro-Amerindian Heritage is a documentary film that discusses the interactions between Africans and American Indians from in the United States, with an emphasis on the state of Georgia in the 18th through the 20th Centuries.

Steven D. Gayle is a filmmaker and educator originally from Philadelphia, PA now residing in the Atlanta area.  Steven earned his Bachelor’s in History Education from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke and a Master of Arts in Media and Communications from Norfolk State University. He is currently pursuing his PhD in International Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University. He has worked in the educational and media production fields for nearly a decade and is constantly seeking new ways to incorporate the two disciplines in different formats.

In 2011 he co-produced, co-Wrote and directed the feature-length documentary about the musical history of Hampton Roads Virginia entitled, "7 City Legacy,"  which is now in the College of William and Mary's Special Collections Archive. Most recently he has shifted his focus on research related to African and Native American history and genealogy with his latest project, "By Any Other Name: An Exploration of Afro-Amerindian Heritage."  This film received the 'Inventos Award' at the FistUp Film Festival in Berkeley, CA, and  'Best Feature' at the Warsaw Avenue Film Festival in Cincinnati, OH. It has also been screened at the 20th Native American Film Festival of the Southeast, the Native Spirit Film festival in London and the Apex Museum in Atlanta.  It is Steven’s intention that "By Any Other Name" stands as a meaningful contribution in the realm of historical documentary and in understanding both the African American and Native American diasporas.
