Big Bend

"The Spirit of Love is Forever..." hits at the spiritual and heart felt beauty of the movie, Little Dove. Filmed in Big Bend National Park, director Brandy Rainey Amstel's childhood playground, Little Dove's back drop is as epic as the story itself.

An Apache girl's life is interrupted by the arrival of a handsome Comanche Warrior. Their sudden and powerful love is forbidden. She is to be married to another who she does not love. These feelings of love lead them both to decisions and actions that go against tradition and their tribes. A historical legend across many cultures, love, tragedy and spirit are central to the story. Set in 1620 before European contact or influence. Shot on and around a 3000 year old Apache settlement near the Big Bend National Park of Texas. The film includes all Native American actors and is spoken in Apache and Comanche languages with English sub-titles. Natural untouched landscapes and native music further complete the story.

Big Bend National Park is breath taking wonder located in the South Western tip of Texas along the Mexican Boarder.

I most identify with the Skye character. I know what you will say. She is a she and I am a he. Skye is Native American and my folk immigrated only 200 years ago. She has green eyes and I have blue. But other than that, I think we are just alike

On a recent trip to Big Bend, a friend and I saw the Marfa lights. It was so awesome. The mystery behind them is compelling. It makes me realized that I don't have to Know everything and Understand everything to be a part of Everything.
