Wolf dog tales

This animated film takes us on a hero's journey to the world of the Wolf Dog who answers some of life's greatest questions through a series of indigenous tales of animal wisdoms-teachings that the film's director learned as part of a colony of Spaniards living among the Native Americans of New Mexico for several hundred years. The animation was inspired by Navajo sand paintings-an ancient religious art form. An original technique for animating sand called "faux sand painting animation" was developed for this film, and the designs include authentic native symbols and Navajo sand. Performing music for Wolf Dog Tales is a member of the Taos Indian Pueblo of New Mexico, who emulates animal calls throughout the film using handmade flutes. At a time when we strive to live in balance with the earth, Wolf Dog Tales reminds us of the many things we can learn from animals.
