THE BIRDS AT THE TEXAS THEATRE

Hitchcock's The Birds is slow, the fake birds look  comically odd slamming around the main characters. But dammit if I wasn't pulled in again when I watched this film. My son is very afraid of birds, it's a common phobia. So I channeled his fear and saw the swarm of birds circling the Theater capturing the building tension and a single bird top of the sign with its dead eye staring.  The film was presented at the Texas Theatre with a performance by the Dallas Neo-Classical Ballet.  The troop had performed it at a college and some footage had made it onto social media. I captured some stills from that and placed them in the corner. It was a real surprise to the two stars of the performance, they ran up and ask "How did you get our picture?"
