From Judy Irving: Just wanted to let you know that my film, “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill,” is now in national theatrical release and is opening in several Florida cities in May and June. See http://www.wildparrotsfilm.com/ for info about the film and updated theater listings. (It will screen in over 300 cities before the DVD is released in early 2006.)
“Wild Parrots” is a nonfiction feature film about a Bohemian St. Francis and his remarkable relationship with a flock of wild cherry-headed conures in San Francisco. Mark Bittner, a homeless street musician, falls in with the flock as he searches for meaning in life, unaware that the wild parrots will bring him everything he needs.
