Premiere of BIRDS WITHOUT FEATHERS from filmmaking auteur Wendy McColmin New York City. The film showcases the desperate need for human interaction in an irrational world where six emotionally damaged individuals risk self-respect and shed their disillusionment in a last grasp for happiness. In a cruel-world, darkly absurd comedy populated by struggling Instagram stars, Russian cowboys and self-help gurus, lives collide and interact in astounding ways. Over the course of a weekend, they fight, get lunch with the wrong Jeff Goldblum, perform hoedowns, ruin life milestones, and challenge each other’s sense of self-worth. Told through hazy, nostalgia-inducing vignettes, characters are pushed to their personal limits in ways that alternate between romantic and cruel in their desperate attempts to see each other and be seen.
Aptly called by The Playlist, “Fellini meets Solondz meets Lynch,” BIRDS WITHOUT FEATHERS both sweetly and savagely dissects the things that make us humans –our wants and imperfections. The film received the George Starks Spirit of Slamdance Award at the 2018 Slamdance Film Festival, a Special Jury Prize at the Oak Cliff Film Festival and a Certificate of Achievement for Style at the Brooklyn Film Festival, while also screening at the Munich International, Denver International, Lucca and Sarasota Film Festivals.A Cast and Crew Q&A moderated by legendary director, actor and puppeteer Frank Oz (EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS) will take place after theAugust 14th screening.
