Wild Bird

Short Documentary, 2014

(Our Animals #2) The bond between John, a plumber in rural Massachusetts, and Reggie, a red-tailed hawk he rescued as a chick, forms the center of this experimental short film. Through a day spent in the forest - encountering wildlife, other hawks, and wary humans - this film is a meditation on communication, kinship, and the possibility of intimacy across species boundaries, highlighting the fragile yet profound connections that bind human and nonhuman lives.
