A Bird of the Air
A BIRD OF THE AIR, based on Joe Coomer's highly acclaimed novel "The Loop," tells the story of Lyman (Jackson Hurst), a loner whose job patrolling highways at night, aiding stranded motorists, keeps him at a distance from other people. When a highly talkative parrot flies into his home one day, Lyman needs to figure out where the bird comes from and tries to decode it's often cryptic utterances. Enlisting the aid of Fiona (Rachel Nichols), a spirited librarian who is as interested in Lyman’s secrets as she is in the bird’s, the pair set off on a search that doesn’t always lead them where they think they’re going, but which gradually leads them to one another. The novel was adapted for the screen by Roger Towne, whose credits include the film adaptation of Bernard Malamud’s “The Natural” and directed by actress Margaret Whitton in her feature directorial debut.
