FROM ABOVE is more EXPERIENCE than film, it's an endearing, mytho-poetic, love story told through flashbacks from widower William Ward's (Danny Glover) memory of the life he spent with beloved wife Venus. This Native American family lived in a small Arkansas town and had an affinity for lightning as well as a deep connection to nature. William and Venus lived in a world filled with racial and ethnic differences, which made their love a difficult plot to play. But in an original mixture of Native American narration and Shakespearean tragedy Niven creates a spiritually uplifting and visually stunning story.
"We are all very excited about fans getting to experience the film as it was intended to be seen and heard, in a theater, on a big screen in Dolby 5.1." - Director Norry Niven
Elements of Shakespeare's stories are woven into this beautiful and enchanting tale that details the beginning, end, and rebirth of a love affair between William (Danny Glover) and Venus (Tantoo Cardinal), a member of the mystical American Indian Lightning Clan. Though society, cultural circumstances, and family pressures conspire to keep them apart, a young William (Mike Wade) and Venus (Chelsea Ricketts) devise ways to meet and strengthen the bond between them. They find that despite his father's misgivings, and with the support of her guardian (Graham Greene), theirs is a love that transcends all obstacles.
