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

View Trailer

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!

“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.
