Raven's Wake

       “In that country you learned after awhile, you can't always trust your eyes. You might see Angels or Devils, either one, with just the turn of your head. Princes bickering with hounds over supper. Or even a boy turning into a man.”

         It's Colorado, 1862. There are Immigrants of every variety, Native peoples, Spanish speaking communities (already hundreds of years old) and Easterners fleeing America's Civil War. Among these, a lethally skillful mountain man, an orphaned boy, and a remarkable dog are charged to bring in the most notorious outlaws in Colorado history. Their violent and mystical journey unmasks the Old West.

         Raven's Wake is currently designed as a six episode television series, although it lends itself equally well to film. The piece never loses its sense of humor, romance or adventure despite being solidly based on primary historical sources.
