Description

Jack Clark and Jim Weir, the creative minds behind the psychological thriller "Birdeater," are using their directorial debut feature to confront Australian culture head-on.

The film, which made waves at SXSW Austin, MIFF, and Cinefest Oz, and is now showing in Australian cinemas, explores the complexities of toxic masculinity and emotional abuse through the story of a bride-to-be being invited to her own fiancé's bucks party, when things turn “feral”.
