When the lockdown is announced, the entire cast and crew of a feature film are sent home – alone. They are actors with no audience, Production crew with no set and Directors with no script. Couples fall apart, others come together and some find they are simply alone – A feature film composed of seven interlinked narratives, A Bird Flew In follows and examines what happens when we are freed from external distractions and forced to find a meaning in our loves and lives.
Kirsty Bell is a UK based filmmaker, producer and prolific executive producer of well over 90 feature films in her career to date including EP'ing the 2023 Best Short Film Oscar and BAFTA winner An Irish Goodbye. Bell has successfully helped finance over 200 Film and TV projects and has assisted over 20 new first-time directors create their first film. In 2020 she changed things up and directed her debut feature film entitled A BIRD FLEW IN a project she conceived in lockdown. It stars Jeff Fahey and Sir Derek Jacobi and was released in 2022.
