Short Summary
This feature-length wildlife documentary is an eye-opening look into the lives of ravens.
We follow a mated pair for three years where we see them raise a chick from the time she fledges the nest until she leaves their territory to live life on her own.
We learn how this mated pair interacts with neighboring mated pairs to live in harmony and protect their territories.
These fascinating creatures are highly intelligent, mate for life, interact with complex communication and share emotions that rival our own.
What We Need & What You Get
Principal photography is 90% complete, editing is 50% complete, narration, color correction, original score, post audio mix, festival fees and DCP creation funds are still needed. Your support will help finish this work of art.
In return, you will become a part of this project and be listed in the movie credits and on iMDB.
The Impact
This project is meant to educate its viewers on the importance of taking care of Earth and our fellow lifeforms, as well as an in-depth look into the lives of ravens.
These incredible creatures understand lifelong companionship, camaraderie and symbiosis. They often times fly just for the thrill of it.
Risks & Challenges
Raising money is always challenging, but this project has three major things going for it.
1) the footage is in the can. 90% of the stunning footage needed to complete this project is already filmed and editing is already underway.
2) Passion. Vance Crofoot, the Filmmaker directing this project is highly passionate when it comes to studying the lives of ravens and raising awareness when it comes to taking care of our planet and wildlife.
3) Award winning wildlife documentary under his belt. Last year Vance released a short wildlife documentary entitled "Lita the baby raven" which has won several awards and enjoyed theatrical success at the prestigious AmDocs and Oregon documentary film festivals. That documentary was created on passion alone as it was made with no additional funding.
Understanding Ravens will raise the bar and take the production value to the next level.
