60-minute feature film (DVD) written, directed, produced, and filmed by Gregory Colbert. A poetic field study that depicts the world not as it is, but as it might be a world in which the natural and artificial boundaries separating humans from other species do not exist. Colbert"s Ashes and Snow feature film captures extraordinary moments of contact between people and animals as seen through the lens of Colbert"s camera on more than thirty expeditions to some of the earth"s most remote places. The viewing experience is one of wonder and contemplation, serenity, and hope. Edited by two-time Oscar-winner Pietro Scalia; narrated by actors Laurence Fishburne (English) and Ken Watanabe (Japanese). Musical collaborators include Michael Brook, David Darling, Heiner Goebbels, Lisa Gerrard, Lukas Foss, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Djivan Gasparyan. full credits: animals Asian elephants Sperm whales Humpback whales Royal eagles Manatees Peregrine falcons Gyr falcons Elands Baboons Cheetahs Meerkats African wild dogs Pilot whales Harris hawks Sacred ibis Antigone cranes Caracals cast Bertha Gregory Venuri Khema Sobini Vinci Beny Sarki Chiko Senaitje Anna Sherbat Mamoud Vanessa Burmese monks written and directed by Gregory Colbert cinematographers Gregory Colbert Philippe Vene Koji Nakemura Acacio Almeido Yorgos Arvanitis narrators Laurence Fishburne (English) Ken Watanabe (Japanese) editor Pietro Scalia music Michael Brook Patrick Cassidy David Darling Robert Een Lukas Foss Djivan Gasparyan Lisa Gerrard Heiner Goebbels Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Temple of Sound Cantor Samuel Vigoda produced by Gregory Colbert post production supervisor Alessandra Pasquino music supervisors Peter Afterman Margaret Yen score producer Michael Brook music editor Richard Henderson additional editor Elisa Bonora assistant editors Shawn Mitchell Neil Jariwala apprentice editor Sean Martin colorist Clark Muller special thanks Michael Ostin Nile Rodgers Andy Uterano Francis Pennington
