Bird Dog

A new short in development

Growing up in Wyoming, ten-year-old Rose is happily at home when out on bird hunts with her family. However, when she rises to her older brother’s dare and swallows the heart of a mourning dove while cleaning the day’s take, she begins to worry that the heart in her belly will sprout into a fully formed dove. The burgeoning conviction that she is carrying a bird around in her stomach alters the entire experience of the hunt, and drives her to confront her fears about growing older and shedding her tomboy skin.

Shooting scheduled for Fall 2014!
