BIRDS is a hybrid narrative short film that intercuts moments in the lives of teenagers in Austin, Texas. Made up of individual vignettes, each scene realistically depicts a moment among groups of friends. Collectively, these intercut moments show a bigger picture about what it means to be young today. Teen lovers, best friends, troublemakers, cheerleaders, BMX bikers, and a lonely e-boy compose the motley cast of characters—made up of first-time actors playing themselves on screen.
