Cranky Hanke's Mountain Express Raven Fork film review.
Raven Fork (NR)
Ken Hanke | 06/16/2010
Genre: Whitewater Action Drama
Directed by: Thomas W. Oliver
Starring: Glenn LaPlante, Frank Jordan, Suzanne Warren, Eammon Mccullogh, Bryce Evans
Thomas W. Oliver’s Raven Fork, a local production, makes its debut this week. It’s the kind of film that will appeal much more strongly to aficionados of the sport at its core—whitewater kayaking—than it will to the uninitiated. This doesn’t mean that it has no appeal outside that core group, however. Far from it. Whether you go in for this sort of activity or if you—like I—think cross-country sitting is quite strenuous enough, there’s an appeal to the sheer beauty of the kayaking scenes. Better yet, Oliver has a terrific eye for composition and nearly every shot—at least the exteriors—is gauged for maximum visual impact.
Raven Fork is ultimately a niche film. There’s no doubt of that and there’s nothing wrong with that. But as I say, it has merits that crossover into more general interest, mostly through the film’s visuals. But the story also has a fairly broad appeal, since tales of friendship, loss, redemption and the need for closure are universal. It’s also an important new look into the Asheville filmmaking scene. Thomas Oliver is a very promising voice on that scene. His film is worth catching and his progress worth following.

National Paddling Film Festival "Offical Selection"
"Green River: On The Down Low" was an official selection at the 2009 National Paddling Film Festival.
The festival was hosted by World Squirt Boat Champion Clay Wright.
I received this question from Clay:
"Hey Thomas, Curious what this piece is for? Seems more film or TV like than paddle-porn."
-Clay
"Green River: On the Down Low" was shot as a camera/crew/actor/river test. I needed to know how we were going to handle different types of scenes. The best way to learn is to do so I wrote out about 5-6 scenes for our cast and crew. We went out and shot them and learned a lot.
The original project had no intention of being a short film. Once everything was shot and each scene was in a rough cut someone mentioned that is was kind of like a little story and asked "what happened to the kayaker?"
I went into editing and came out with something that was presentable.
So that is what it was originally for. Now it's a calling card for "Raven Fork" my feature film we've been shooting since July 2008.
"Green River: On The Down Low" Screening at Asheville Film Festival.
Friday Nov. 7th. Diana Wortham Theater. 9:00pm.Saturday Nov. 8th. Fine Arts Cinema. 7:00pm.
