Ancestor Eyes TRAILER

Trailer for the short film ANCESTOR EYES, written and directed by Kalani Queypo.

Synopsis: Returning home was the choice she made. Letting go was the choice she inspired.

After getting sick, a young Native American woman, Willa, returns to her mother's home where they both must come to terms with her illness. Willa's mother, who had been a long time 'shut in', begins venturing outside with her camcorder, taping the sunrise and mountains, bringing the outside world in to the bed ridden Willa.

Pain turns into a source of inspiration, igniting her mother's gift for storytelling and ultimately paving a path of magical transformations.

Gripping performances by Tantoo Cardinal (Dances With Wolves, Legends of the Fall) and Rulan Tangen (The New World) are beautifully complimented with rich visual images and an impressive original soundtrack.

Watch for Ancestor Eyes on the film festival circuit starting in May 2008.
