Delicately tender and intimate, the relationship between these two is slowly teased out throughout the short and is done in such a way that we are able to feel the history between them.

The result is this gorgeous, delicate story of a young girl seeking solace in the form of birdwatching. The short, aptly titled Birdwatcher, is a peaceful and rather uplifting look at the effects of grief and loss, and how the simple things in life can heal us. Made with a low budget, it’s impressive to see how this filmmaking team has pulled together to create something rather special, featuring a wonderful lead performance, stunning visuals and a beautiful soundtrack from folk-pop artist Wyldest.
