BLACKBIRD
The film follows motorcycle-riding career criminal Everett, on the day he is released from prison after a ten-year sentence. Unable to cope with his mundane life on the outside, he sets out on a crime-fueled odyssey toward what he hopes will be his end. Thematically, the film dissects the addiction to crime, how that manifests, and what an honest portrayal of dealing with loss and being on the run looks and feels like.
