Peter Bratt(I)

Aside from being Benjamin Bratt's brother, Peter Bratt is a growing force in
his own right. With his critically acclaimed independent first feature
film Follow Me Home (1996), he dared to explore race and identity from the multiple
and intersecting perspectives of Chicanos, African Americans, and
Native Americans. When no major studio would distribute this film,
Henri Norris, an African American woman who was an attorney then engaged in
malpractice litigation, created New Millennia Films so that Bratt's
film and message could reach a significant audience. Bratt was honored
for his artistic genius with a 2000 Rockefeller Foundation
Film/Video/Multimedia Fellowship, further demonstrating that he is
poised to become one of the twenty first century's major
filmmakers.
