Notes
Good Bird is a cozy story of a moment in a young girl’s life where she practices empathy and gentleness for something in need. Creating Good Bird was a labor of love, self-funded and entirely hand-made; every character meticulously needle felted by me in every spare moment I had outside of my day job. I wrote the story after my cousin told me she sang Amazing Grace to a bird that she saw dying. That anecdote buried itself in my brain and I had to fill out the larger story. What came of that is Good Bird. I’m incredibly proud of this little film of sweet puppets and I hope those who see it enjoy it. Thanks.
