Owl and the Sparrow

Please go see my friend Stephane's film The Owl and The Sparrow. I was fortunate enough to see it at the Hawaii International Film Festival. It is a really beautiful film with an amazing performance by the young star.

As with all smaller limited release films, the first weekend box office is very important for the life of the film. It is well worth your time and money to see this film.
