Finder of Lost Children's Blurbs

About me:
About the Film: "Finder of Lost Children" is the story of two half-sisters that meet for the first time at the funeral of the father neither one of them knew.

These reluctant siblings make a road trip to deal with their father's meager possessions and in so doing discover the existence of several other lost brothers and sisters who are unaware of their father's passing. The two mis-matched sisters decide to extend the road trip to find their brothers and sisters and along the way they discover the keys to their past and future through the secrets and lies that confront them - buoyed by the humour and humanity that is the irrepressible Caribbean spirit.

About Ricardo Scipio: Writer / Director

Trinidad-born Ricardo Scipio has garnered the reputation for making unique, multi-layered, provocative work. His first feature film "When" was an irrepressibly brutal and comedic portrayal of dysfunctional struggling actresses in New York. His second feature film "Watershed" was the first independent feature film in North America to be shot in digital high-definition, breaking ground with its technical and narrative accomplishments.

Scipio grew up in Toronto and attended both The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and The University of Waterloo. He started his art career as a fashion photographer and then later fine art, nude photographer. He has had 14 gallery shows of his work and his first book of photographs- a collaboration with noted Canadian poet George Elliott Clarke, was published in November of 2005.

The inspiration for his third film Finder of Lost Children came from a personal journey Scipio found himself at a point in his own life, a journey he later found translated into similar stories in the people around him:

“The surface hasn't even been close to being scratched as far as the stories that can and should be told about The Caribbean Diaspora. The Caribbean experience is far too rich and profound not to find a more prominent place in the film industry. To me this story embodies all that's good and bad, beautiful and ugly in our world culture. It's the perfect starting point to making challenging personal films,” states Scipio.

Scipio now makes his home in British Columbia, Canada where he also has a busy herbal medicine practice.
