Congratulations on this important work. Thank you for using your media gifts to create bridges with other cultures. Bravo to Bravo … for showing this film. Well done!

A truly beautiful creation if the trailer is any indication … which, knowing the work of this filmmaker, it certainly is. So inspiring to see a juxtaposition of artists from such different cultures with a shared humanity and passion for the natural and unseen worlds.

It looks like a winner, especially with music by Elizabeth Baird and Bob Derkach.

Watched the one hour Bravo TV program today 19 august 2007 and was absolutely delighted to find a subject I know little about but enjoyed so much. I am not a carver but am a self taught artist and enjoy the challenge of working in various art mediums. I prefer highly technical and difficult subjects, have made and created pens to draw Gothic Cathedrals in very fine ink, and pens to draw the Renaissance in silverpont. After seeing this amazing show “Killer Whale and Crocodile” I am looking into my past to create a project to carve, we all appreciate the art of our native indians and now the design carvings of the New Guinea artists, I am English and will now research Medievil Anglo Saxon art to find my heritage in art and begin to design a series of carvings to emulate what the show encompasses, thank you for the inspiration.

I was incredibly moved by this film. I have always had great admiration for the tireless work that Elaine Monds has been involved in (bringing art from these two cultures to her Gallery in Victoria) but this was so much about bringing these cultures together for the first time. Thanks to Pete Campbell for the capturing on film the beauty and wonder of the story and to Bravo for making it available to their viewers. Well done.

An exciting adventure for all involved, including viewers! “Killer Whale & Crocodile” does a wonderful job of showing that cross-cultural exchanges can be very moving: deeply personal, yet deeply universal — the perfect stimulation for creativity. (I am reminded of the gorgeous work which came out of exchanges by Northwest and Southwest First Nations in the fabulous travellying show “Totems to Turquoise”.) Let’s honour and encourage more of this wonderful work. Thanks to all of the sponsors and risk-takers involved in creating this production, with special thanks to Elaine Monds of Alcheringa for “taking time to see”.
