The nice folks at horror website Legless Corpse have been kind enough to review Carolina Parakeet, and we're relieved to be able to tell you they liked it!

Of course, it's our preference that you watch the film without any prior knowledge, and seeing as it's only 15 minutes long, it's impossible to give a decent review without revealing some plot details. That said, if you're on the fence about checking out the film, which will be screening in Burbank and in Sydney this weekend, we hope that this review puts you over the edge!

Here are some awesome quotes:

"in the tradition of what are truly the best zombie flicks, the ghouls aren’t the real focus of the film; they’re simply the catalyst that makes us look deeper into ourselves."
"I was really, really impressed with the story and the way it unfolded..."
"... in Myles Cranford, playing Wallace, I saw a intricate and emotional performance that was exceptional; I was completely sold on the character."
"I have to tip my hat to writer/director Briones, the film caught me off-guard; it wasn’t at all what I expected, but I thoroughly enjoyed it."

Carolina Parakeet at HollyShorts 2014 by AJ Briones

As a filmmaker, it should come as no surprise when I tell you that I'm a visual person with an overactive imagination. It's both a blessing and a curse.

Crazy imagination aside, I have never once dreamed that we would be screening our film at the iconic TCL Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It just sounds too far-fetched.

And yet, here we are.

I am so proud to announce that Carolina Parakeet will be screening as a part of HollyShorts (HSFF) 2014 on August 14-23, sharing the big screen with some phenomenal shorts by truly gifted filmmakers!

If you are going to be in or near Los Angeles and have any interest in checking out Carolina Parakeet, this is absolutely the ideal venue to experience it in its highest quality, presented in 2k Scope DCP with 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound at a historic theater!

Many of the cast and crew will be present, both at Opening Night and at our screening (date and time yet to be announced).

We will update our website as soon as the schedule is announced. Meanwhile, you can also join our Facebook event by clicking here!

If you want to join us on Opening Night, you can purchase tickets here!
