‘Flow’ Producer Sacrebleu Productions’ Upcoming Feature ‘The Bird Kingdom’ Acquired by Lucky Number (EXCLUSIVE)


The animated anti-violence fable is produced by French 'Flow' producer Sacrebleu Productions and Brazil's Lupa Filmes.

Set in a fantasy version of the Brazilian Sertão, an arid wasteland where men can shapeshift into birds of prey, protagonist Assum Preto is taken as a child by Carcara, an outlaw who aspires to be a local legend.
