"Will love always be this painful?" Madman Films in Australia has unveiled another official trailer for the indie comedy Dr. Bird's Advice For Sad Poets, made by filmmaker Yaniv Raz. This originally premiered last year and is just now getting an official release in some countries. In the emotionally charged, wild and humorous world of sixteen year old James Whitman, we see his struggle to overcome anxiety and depression by seeking advice from Dr. Bird - an imaginary pigeon therapist - in the wake of his sister's disappearance. Based on the book by Evan Roskos. This indie film stars Lucas Jade Zumann as James Whitman, with Taylor Russell, David Arquette, Jason Isaacs, Chase Stokes, Tom Wilkinson, and Michael Cole as Walt Whitman. This looks like it has some really creative filmmaking throughout, drifting into the fantasy realm to tell this story of loss and love. It's a really lovely, amusing trailer, definitely grabbed my attention.

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Yaniv Raz's Dr. Bird's Advice For Sad Poets, from YouTube:

I am James Whitman, I am light, I am truth, I am might, I am youth.
