ENTER THE WIND

"Enter the Wind" is an experimental short, from the perspective of a Native American poet in a dream-state. The wind blows across a landscape, a domino effect on the Earth. One culture's hardship affects many cultures in succession.

'Enter the Wind' begins with poet laureate Henry Real Bird's voice as he tells part of his dream in Crow Language. He then states, 'I still dream in Indian'. With the falling of the leaf, we fall into Henry's dream. He chants, 'From the four directions of the wind, warrior cowboys enter the wind.' We fall with a leaf into a mystical, dream-state, the wind the driving force. We sense it; we become part of it as it blows across the world, shaping our own humanity on Earth. "Enter the Wind" aims to connect to a deeper resonance of our world and to remind us from where we have come.

Enter the Wind won two awards at the 2014 University Film and Video Association conference and was nominated for Best Experimental Film at the Wimbledon International Short Film Festival.
