  “Earl Biss, The Spirit Who Walks Among His People” is a documentary that sheds light on this ground breaking, dynamic, mystical, and controversial Crow artist. Earl Biss (1947 – 1998) was a profound contributor to the explosion of Southwestern Art in the last half of the 20th century, and particularly to the rise of Contemporary Native American Art. His compelling portraits of Plains Indian horsemen, his phenomenal grasp of the medium of oil painting, and the sheer exuberance of his palette and brushwork earned him a place in the history books of modern art. He was, according to one Southwest Art critic and collector, "The greatest colorist of the 20th century."


The film showcases masterful art while giving deep insight into the man that created it. Archival footage of Biss speaking and painting, and interviews with tribal members, friends, art dealers, and patrons paint an unforgettable story – a joyous, dynamic, tumultuous journey to success in the art world.

CRY OF THE THUNDERBIRD - The Story of Earl Biss


- In Development -


Native American artist, EARL BISS, lives on the edge—both in his daring, controversial lifestyle, and in the spiritual essence gleaned as a descendent of great Crow Chiefs. Based on a true 20th Century story, CRY OF THE THUNDERBIRD reveals how Earl becomes a dynamic catalyst among a group of young Native artists who create a new genre, Contemporary Native Art, in the cultural hotbed of Santa Fe, New Mexico. In the decades that follow, Earl overcomes great cultural and socioeconomic odds to break new artistic ground and become a highly celebrated artist in the Fine Art world.
