Award-Winning Indie 'Charliebird' Takes Flight to Theaters

The indie film Charliebird, lauded on the festival circuit, is making its theatrical debut. Freestyle Digital Media has secured distribution rights, planning a cinema release for late February, followed by digital and DVD availability. This move comes after the film's significant success, including winning the prestigious Founders Award for best U.S. narrative feature at the Tribeca Festival.

Directed by Libby Ewing and penned by Samantha Smart, who also stars, Charliebird centers on a music therapist finding new purpose through a secret project with a teenage patient. The film's emotional resonance and strong performances, particularly from newcomer Gabriela Ochoa Perez who won an award for best performance, have captivated audiences and critics alike.

Ewing and Smart expressed excitement about partnering with Freestyle Digital Media, highlighting their understanding of the film's vision and commitment to supporting independent cinema and female voices. This distribution deal promises to bring the critically acclaimed Charliebird to a wider audience following its triumphant festival run.
