You’ve been so patient. Here’s your peek at FEVER YEAR.
“…it’s a music documentary that’s entertaining, lyrical and oddly revealing.”
- Dana Harris, indieWIRE
Much has been made about Andrew’s choice to not commodify FEVER YEAR, but here’s something to think about: Film festivals are almost always struggling, secretly-scrappy non-profit orgs. Leave your house, buy a ticket to see the film on the big screen, enjoy gorgeous Dolby surround sound and excellent high-def projection = support your local arts organization. Beautiful!

Click here for an interview with Film Society of Lincoln Center’s legendary Program Director, Richard Pena. His kind words about Fever Year:
“A great discovery for me was Andrew Bird. I never heard of him before I saw Xan Aranda’s terrific Andrew Bird: Fever Year which we’re showing. It really does give a marvelous portrait of an indie musician in today’s music climate and what one has to do to survive. It also got me clued into what my younger colleagues are listening to in the office!”
