Director’s Statement
In many films, Indigenous Americans are typically subjected to tropes & cliches, such as the usage of Indian burial grounds or delivering superstitious exposition. So we decided to break the status quo.
The film is being produced by an award-winning team of filmmakers based out of Richmond, VA. From the props & wardrobe, to the natively spoken dialogue, we are working closely with Indigenous artists & talent to make this film as authentic as possible.
Following a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised over $15,000, A Raven’s Call completed production in mid-November 2023. The film wrapped post-production in June 2025, with plans for upcoming screenings and an exciting festival run.
