Dear Friend:

As the co-founders of Sun and Paw Films, it’s been our shared dream and goal to bring another faith-based movie to life so that we might share a touching, inspiring story with potentially millions of viewers. It’s been a long and enormous undertaking, dealing with Covid, RSV and numerous injuries and trials along the way, but we’ve finally reached the end zone. Now we hope to celebrate and experience the joy of all those who may fall in love with our film, and we pray there are many! May YOU be one of those people, as nothing would thrill us more! We thank you in advance for stepping into the world of “Fly Old Bird”.

                                                                                     Blessings & peace,

                                                                                     Shaun and Alan Maki
