Braeden is a filmmaker and artist whose interests are guided by the relationships between people, the sciences, and their impact on and interactions with the world around them. His current works include documenting the scientific/cultural significance of the common raven (Corvus corax) as collaborative efforts aim to understand a species long deemed to be a trickster, omen of death, and harboring the secrets of creation and destruction. His works also explore the complexities of a highly politicized dispute over the ownership of dinosaur fossils and the disparity between commercial, private, academic, and legal interests and the complexities that lie within. The goal of his work is to educate and inform the public about these realms of science, natural history, and everyday life that can be observed through a scientific, cinematic, and ultimately approachable experience to bridge the gap between these often separated worlds.
