When the world turns upside down, we have a choice to firmly hang on to old ideas or embrace the new view. In Chasing Birds we follow a little girl who playfully chases a bird throughout a chaotic and transformational period. Chasing Birds is a story about disconnection between people and how change can be a terrifying and invigorating experience, depending what angle you see it from. Inspired by the directors own anxiety and her daughter Sunneva.
