The Story:

With a haunting soundtrack from Pulitzer Prize winner Ornette Coleman, and striking black and white photography from first-time writer/director Billy Sharff, The Sparrow and the Tigress takes us into the shadows of a Coney Island underworld where past, present, reality and fantasy collide.

A young man, Aiden Burroughs, moves to New York to pursue a dream of acting but soon finds himself cast in a play and a part he could have never imagined. Aiden (David Langford) quickly falls for the playwright's daughter (Jennifer Angela Bishop) and is led through a labyrinth of love and madness until a shocking revelation sends him back to his childhood home. Pulling the strings is eccentric playwright Ernest Tanning, brought to life in a tour-de-force performance by Hollywood veteran James Rebhorn (Independence Day, Scent Of A Woman). Also featuring Rusty DeWees (Disappearances, Where the Rivers Flow North), Andrea Leigh (Slingshot, Mo) and James Warke (Plague Town).

The Location: Coney Island, rural Vermont and New Hampshire.

The Cast: James Rebhorn, David Langford, Jennifer Angela Bishop, James Warke, Andrea Leigh, Rusty DeWees.
