"Before Oklahoma was a red state, it was known as the Land of the Red People, described by the Choctaw phrase Okla Humma. In his sophomore film, Sterlin Harjo takes viewers on a road trip through his own personal Oklahoma, which includes an eclectic mix of humanity.Irene and Frankie have a difficult past, but Frankie needs Irene to help him with one task. He needs to get out of the hospital and go home to his daughter and new grandbaby to make amends. Irene had been his one, true, on-again, off-again love until they parted ways for good. But to make up for the past, Irene agrees to help him in this trying time.With steady and graceful performances by Richard Ray Whitman as Frankie and Casey Camp-Horinek as Irene, this story takes viewers for a ride in the backseat of Frankie and Irenes Indian car, listening to their past and the rhythmic soundtrack that sets the beat for a redemptive road journey. Harjo wraps us in the charm and love of Oklahoma through the people and places Irene and Frankie visit along the way. In this sparingly sentimental and achingly poignant film, Harjo claims his place as one of the most truthful and honest voices working in American cinema today. Barking Water is an expression of gratitude for the ability to have lived and loved."

Hey, The trailer looks promising :) .

By the way, sorry to deviate from the topic but, in what format have you uploaded to youtube? It will be very nice if you could shae the tech specs, since the non-HD video also looks has a good quality.

[1982films]

Sorry for the late reply. The film was edited in HD. So I think we uploaded native to a 720p format in 16x9 23.976 fps. Youtube will accept higher quality uploads and do the conversion for you as long as the file size is within their guidelines. They also did all of the conversions for SD and HD based on the higher quality file. Hope that helps.

I used to ride bulls with Richard Whitman back in the 70's. We use to really have a good time back then. Indian cowboys done alot of traveling in those days. We were young. I always think of Richard Whitman and Frank Rowe Jr.like brothers. We all called Frank "Babydoll" because of his small size, but man he sure could ride bulls. Richard and Frank were both good bullriders. Frank taught me how to do beadwork and make bullropes and rodeo chaps.  Steve Wood
