"FALLEN ANGELS"
NARRATIVE
“FALLEN ANGELS” STORY DOES NOT CONSIST OF A RANDOM SERIES OF EVENTS, BUT A SERIES OF EVENTS RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER IN TERMS OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. OUR FILM IS BASED ON NARRATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN FILM LOGIC. AN EVENT ON SCREEN WILL BE CAUSED BY A PREVIOUS EVENT: EVENT B, THE OLE PALOMINO CLUB, BECAUSE OF EVENT A, VIET NAM 1968. THE WAR, NAPLAM, AND THE DEVIL’S GATE. THUS SUPPLYING THE DETESTATION AT THE OLE PALOMINO, ON TALENT NIGHT.
STORYLINE:
1968, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WE VENTURE INTO, A CALIFORNIA INDIAN MYSTICAL JOURNEY, A REINCARNATED NATIVE WARRIOR BEFRIENDS A VIET NAM REBEL ROCKER. TOGETHER, THEY SHARE A COMMON THREAD OF LIFE’S COMPLEXITIES, THE BOUNDARIES OF FAITH, THUS FORMING A COSMIC DUALISM.

SPIRIT BEAR WITH A PURPLE HEART, AND SPIRIT BEAR, THE BAND OF INDIANS, ARE PLAYING THE PALOMINO CLUB, ON TALENT NIGHT. IT IS A REUNION OF HEARTS, WITH SPIRIT BEAR, ANTAGONIST AND LOVEY DOVEY, THE PROTAGONIST. THEY HAVE BEEN RUNNING TOGETHER SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, "SPIRIT BEAR" WAS A LINEBACKER, AND "DOVE" WAS A RAH RAH GIRL. THAT FATEFUL NIGHT, THE SUBSEQUENT BAR ROOM NEO RUMBLE ENDS IN EVENT A, THE SPLITTING OF THE SHEETS CONCERTO, BETWEEN OUR TWO, IN THE INFAMOUS GREEN ROOM.

HOTOSH, A RE-INCARNATED NATIVE WARRIOR TELLS THE STORY OF THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN MYSTICAL JOURNEY, AND OF THE CHALLENGE WITH THE LITTLE INDIAN GIRL, NIKI NAKI, WHICH IS HIS ULTIMATE DOOM. WE LEARN ABOUT THE LEGEND OF TOYPURINA, THE REBEL NATIVE WOMAN. AFTER FINDING HER FATHER’S HEAD IMPALED, SHE SINGLE-HANDEDLY DESIGNED AN UPRISING AGAINST THE SPANISH MILITARY CARETAKERS OF THE CATHOLIC IMPOSITION AND ITS GENOCIDE. (1400's-1600's)
SCENE 3: THE FINAL SCENE OPENS WITH A WIDE SHOT OF THE VOLCANO, LAKE MIRADOR, IN CUERNAVACA, MEXICO, THE DAY OF THE DEAD FESTIVAL AND THE BULL-FIGHTS. WE CUT TO "LOVEY DOVEY", BEING PADDLED BY LOCAL INDIANS ACROSS LAKE MIRADOR, UNDER THE VOLCANO. AT THE VILLAGE SHE SEARCHES FOR "SPIRIT BEAR", HER MAN. THEY HAD MADE A VOW THAT IF THE SHIT CAME DOWN, THEY WOULD RENDEVOUS THERE, ON "DAY OF THE DEAD", AT THE BULL FIGHTS. WANDERING THROUGH THE DADAIST, COLORFUL CROWD, SHE CLIMBS TO THE BULL-FIGHTS. SHE SEES SPIRIT BEAR, HE IS LAYING DOWN A BET. HE SEES HER, "HEY TORO", HE YELLS AT "DOVE", SHE CHARGES, HE CATCHES HER AND THEY MERGE IN AN EMBRACE, A RECONCILIATION. DISSOLVE TO: OUR FINAL VISUAL, "DOVE" AND "SPIRIT BEAR", THEY ARE BAREBACK RIDING ON A PALOMINO PONY, NATIVE SURREALISM - INTO THE CLOUDS.
