Psychological horror drama Broken Bird will receive a US theatrical release on April 24 from Catalyst Studios and Seismic Releasing, Deadline has learned.
Rebecca Calder (The Conjuring: Last Rites) stars as a lonely mortician with a poetic soul who searches for love and belonging — but as grief and desire collide, her need for connection takes a disturbingly intimate turn.
The UK production also stars Sacharissa Claxton (“Avenue 5”), Jay Taylor (Donkey Punch), and James Fleet (“Bridgerton”).
Joanne Mitchell makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with Dominic Brunt and Tracey Sheals, based on Mitchell’s 2018 short film Sybil.
Zoe Stewart, Holly Levow, Mark Pennell, and Paul Kampf produce.
“Broken Bird is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven filmmaking that defines Catalyst Studios,” said Catalyst co-founder Holly Levow. “Joanne Mitchell has crafted a haunting and emotionally resonant film that stays with you long after the credits roll, and Rebecca Calder delivers a truly unforgettable performance.”
Broken Bird premiered as the opening film at London’s FrightFest in 2024. It went on to be nominated for the Emerging Raven Award at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival.
