Biography
Filmmaker David Lebrun was born in Los Angeles in 1944. He attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon and the UCLA Film School. He came to film from a background in philosophy and anthropology, and many of his films have been attempts to get inside the ways of seeing and thinking of specific cultures. He has served as producer, director, writer, cinematographer, animator and / or editor of more than sixty films, among them films on the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexican folk artists, a 1960s traveling commune, Tibetan mythology and a year in the life of a Maya village in the Yucatán. He edited the
Academy-award winning feature documentary Broken Rainbow, on the conflict between Hopi and Navajo of the American Southwest. In his own films Lebrun combines the structures and techniques of the documentary, experimental and animated genres to create a style appropriate to the culture and era of each film. Among his films are Breaking the Maya Code (2008), Proteus (2003) and The Hog Farm Movie (1970), all distributed by First Run Features. A more detailed bio is
