Wings

A love letter from the late Sonya Hale, written as a signal of hope to her son after she’s gone.

When 11-year-old Dean discovers an injured bird on his doorstep, he finds himself reflecting on past memories and is led on an intense personal journey of discovery and growth.

Directors Statement

Wings is an introspective piece made in collaboration with the writer Sonya Hale, who explored the truths of her own, often turbulent, life.

During the writing process Sonya was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died, changing the meaning of the story we were developing together, to one dedicated to her memory.

Content Notices: Bereavement, social services, depiction of blood
