Parrots is a 6 minute slice-of-life short film about two girls growing up in San Gabriel Valley. They chatter about the clouds that float in the sky, the screeching green parrots, and their pregnant principal. As they observe and repeat things they don’t yet understand, they live and grow in a world far more connected than they realize. (2023)
