SPIRIT WORLD PRODUCTIONS was founded in 1991 by Joanelle and has become an Award winning company. Romero saw a need for American Indian people to tell their own stories in television, film and music and was the first American Indian woman owned production company. Romero has formed a dynamic, creative production team of writers, producers, Native American Consultants, and crew who complete the company. Spirit World Productions will continue to produce American Indian films, pilots and music giving voices to those who would otherwise remain unheard. Since the company’s inception, Spirit World Productions has created a significant library of American Indian documentaries, feature film scripts, television movies, television pilots, series treatments and music specials dedicated to supporting Indian American themes.

Spirit World's introductory project was Michael Jackson's Black or White music video. Romero served as professional liaison between Mr. Jackson and the American Indian dancers cast for the project. Romero made history with this music video; these traditional dancers were and are to date the highest paid dancers in any music video.

Then went on to creating the first and only (USA) all American Indian drama series for television Home Home On The Rez – REDHAWK THE SERIES: Starring Joanelle Romero, Larry Sellers, Elaine Miles and Elizabeth Sage. Joanelle Romero was compared to Bill Cosby on channel 4 News and Newsweek magazine. This pilot won at Red Earth Film Festival and debuted on Red Nation Television Channel 2006.

The most recent production, American Holocaust: When It’s All Over I’ll Still Be Indian Narrated by Ed Anser has received critical acclaim. Written up in both Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, its Theatrical release was at The Laemmle Theatre in West Hollywood to sold out audiences. The short compares Hitler’s attempted genocide of German Jews with the U.S. government’s treatment of American Indians and the lasting effects on the culture today. Romero won at the The Fargo Film Festival 2003 at the 25th American Indian Film Festival in 2000. This is a project that Romero is very passionate about, she directed, produced, wrote and scored the music for this controversial and groundbreaking film. Romero has been developing this film project since 1994. The film was considered for nomination for an Oscar 2000, Romero is the only American Indian Director/Producer to date to be this close to an Oscar Nomination (22 shorts were entered in; out of the 22 entered; 9 were chosen Romero's film was part of that 9; then 5 were nominated) and continues to win awards to this date.
