Curtis Brown - The Lost Raven Finding His Way

April 9th, 2009 by clongmuir

Curtis Brown’s film is a touching account of how he (a “lost raven”) was uprooted at a young age and now as a young adult is rediscovering his roots as a Haida dancer. Curtis listened well to feedback, and learned the tools very quickly. He was one of the few participants to use AfterEffects to animate the initial sequence with his Raven dancer tattoo. He also played the flute for three of the six pieces (his own, Kiefer’s and Kristy’s), and performed in his own piece, traditionally and in a contemporary form. Curtis is also seriously considering going to film school.
