Praised at festivals, it’s headed for theaters this spring.
Catalyst Studios and Seismic Releasing are bringing BROKEN BIRD to theaters nationwide April 24. Directed by Joanne Mitchell from a script by Dominic Brunt, Tracey Sheals and Mitchell, based on Mitchell’s short film SYBIL, it stars Rebecca Calder (THE CONJURING: LAST RITES), James Fleet, Sacharissa Claxton, Jay Taylor and Robyn Rainsford. The synopsis: “In BROKEN BIRD, a lonely mortician with a poetic soul [Calder], searches for love and belonging—but as grief and desire collide, her need for connection takes a disturbingly intimate turn.”
“BROKEN BIRD is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven filmmaking that defines Catalyst Studios,” says Holly Levow, executive lead and co-founder of Catalyst Studios. “Joanne Mitchell has crafted a haunting and emotionally resonant film that stays with you long after the credits roll, and Rebecca Calder delivers a truly unforgettable performance. We’re thrilled to bring this powerful debut to audiences nationwide.”
