Birds Eye View, an organization that ran an international film festival from 2002–2014 and currently runs year-round filmmaker training programs, is now getting into distribution. According to Screen Daily, Bird’s Eye View will jointly release Jane Linfoot’s “The Incident” along with UK distributor Verve.
“The Incident” stars Ruta Gedmintas, Tom Hughes, and newcomer Tasha Connor and tells the story of “a successful young couple who see their comfortable lives disrupted and their relationship unravel when they each make a decision to ignore the plight of a troubled teenage girl.”
“Birds Eye View is a dynamic organisation that has led the way in terms of championing female filmmakers in this country. To be selected as their first release into UK cinemas is a source of great pride,” said Linfoot.
“Our goal is to change the focus of film for everyone by showcasing the best work of female filmmakers,” added Mia Bays, Birds Eye View Director-At-Large. “Jane Linfoot is a filmmaker with a singular directorial vision and we are pleased to be a part of bringing her film to audiences. This is a highly accomplished debut that has thoroughly earned its place in UK cinemas.”
“The Incident” premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and was nominated for The Michael Powell Award. Birds Eye View has set a release date of November 25.
