Answer 1

They are both males. I think the info below will be more meaningful to you than pigeonholing these men by race and gender, however.

AMARNATH RAVVA lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He recently finished his first manuscript, a work of non-fiction called American Canyon, that blends South Indian and Californian history, memoir, poetry, documentary, and compassion. When he is not writing or producing art, he teaches at Glendale Community College. Since 2001 he has served as an advisor for the journal nocturnes (re)view of the literary arts. He has published several poems in Interlope: a Journal of Asian American poetics, nocturnes, The Berkeley Poetry Review and has work forthcoming in the journal Trepan as well as the anthologies Risen from the East: the Poetry of the Non-Western World, and Writing the Lines of our Hands.

Film Review
Roof to Roof

By Duane Byrge
PARK CITY -- Often at the Sundance Film Festival, you see young, schooled filmmakers who have the skills to say something but nothing to say. Here's a different case: a filmmaker with something to say but at this point not possessing the filmmaking skills to do his story justice. At best, "Roof to Roof" could be described as interesting: There's something to this contextual film document, but you have to peer through the muddle to find it.

A slice of first-generation immigrant life in Los Angeles, "Roof" has snippets of poignancy as an Armenian father struggles to raise his 7-year-old daughter amid the freeway pressure of an alien world. Despite its tender theme, this American Spectrum entrant is disappointingly inept, marred by inarticulate visuals and amateurishly realized aesthetics. Culturally perceptive eighth-grade English teacher Ara Corbett's production is a distracting hodgepodge of narrative; it's the kind of well-meaning document that might look good on paper, prompting intelligent discussion, but its depiction of the cultural abrasions this Armenian-American family faces are clouded by Corbett's amateurish telling.

One could generously say that the film's uneven, dark lighting depicts the uncertainty and fear experienced by father and daughter, but that's stretching. In general, the film is a morass of murky-lighted scenes, distended camera pans, static discussions and inarticulate cuts. Only rarely does it jell into a cogent picture of these ambitious, brave people's lives.

Ricocheting through a series of everyday happenstances that are often confusing, it's exasperating to try to make sense of much of "Roof." That is particularly regrettable because it's evident that Corbett has distilled many of the problems and challenges that new Americans face, particularly in an environ as scattered as Los Angeles. He understands and appreciates their resilience, and in the film's best moments, we get a sense of the family members and their fears and challenges.

While Corbett's sensitivity is abundant, his lack of filmmaking skills -- including his lack of understanding of basic film grammar and punctuation -- lessens the story and alienates viewers. His floundering camerawork, groping pace and meandering structure never plumb the dimension of these peoples' story. Only intermittently do we feel an emotional connection, as when a young girl plays an Armenian folk song on the piano; in her determined, loving cadence, we share her sense of loss in her new home.

The soundtrack, replete with the unrelenting noise of Los Angeles and a hollow, minor-keyed musical score, further enervates the film. Although it might be indigenously correct, its relentless drone further sucks the life out of these peoples' struggle.

Answer 2

Amarnath is usually a male, Asian Indian name. Rawa is also an Asian last name.

Corbett is usually an English last name. Not sure of the first name - but I think it's male.

However, just because their name may suggest a particular race, they may be culturally or raised in another country.

Answer 3

My college professor s name is EXACTLY Ara Corbett and he is a Persian-Armenian male.

Answer 4

I once knew an African dentist with the surname Rawa. Corbett could be English.. the christian names are un-familiar

Answer 5

Corbett is a russian name

Answer 6

nicely, I not in any respect immediately supply someone a thumb score except I study their answer. also, i attempt to evade thumbs down except i hit upon their answer notably, notably offensive or rude. If i don't love it or that's slightly offensive, I basically go away it on my own. If that's a minimum of an worry-free attempt, I supply it a thumbs up except i'm lazy. Lol.

Answer 7

i had a professor whose family name is corbett, he is english.

amarnath rawa, probably an indian, pakistani, or sri lankan.

Answer 8

You can not base their origins on their name.
