Psychokinetic Girl Takes on Bullies in Short Film - YARDBIRD
Here's a short film that you've gotta check out called "Yardbird." It focuses on a young girl who comes out of hiding. She has a secret past and is forced to take on a group of mean and relentless bullies in the town in which she resides. She takes on this task "with the thing she fears most… herself." The girl has psychokinetic powers, much like Carrie in the Stephen King story, or in Josh Trank's Chronicle. The short also kind of has a superhero origin vibe. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful, and I thought the story was gripping. It's one of those films that does a brilliant job of building suspense and then delivers a great payoff. The film comes to us from Bridle Path Films, and I hope that you like it. Here's a little information on the small production company that created the short:
Bridle Path Films is a Sydney based directors’ collective founded by Julius Avery and Michael Spiccia. With a mix of strong performance and striking imagery, the collective prides itself on telling unique stories with a bold vision that universally connects. Whether its music videos, short films or feature films the collective is about creating and nuturing an environment that offers the ability, resources and independence to grow as filmmakers.
Enjoy the short!
