PhilaMOCA hosts the Philly Premiere of BIRDEMIC 3: SEA EAGLE with filmmaker James Nguyen in attendance!

A sensation upon its release in 2010, BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR was a celebrated eco-thriller that revived the spirits of crowds who were growing tired of endless watchings of THE ROOM. A sequel, BIRDEMIC 2: THE RESURRECTION, followed in 2013 and screened to a sold out crowd at PhilaMOCA with the director/writer, star, and producer in attendance. While a ton of fun, the sequel was a collaborative effort that resulted in a film that wasn't as authentically low-tech or sincere as its predecessor. But now thanks to Severin Films, director James Nguyen was given 100% creative control of the new installment, which features the return of star Alan Bagh and musical hitmaker Damien Carter! This one is going to be a ton of fun with a crowd and James Nguyen himself will be in attendance for an introduction and Q&A.

From Fantastic Fest:

“Damn Global Warming” - Evan

While slowly sauntering down the Santa Cruz pier, gerontologist (a scientist studying the biological aspects of aging) and Tesla Model 3 driver Evan (Ryan Lord) happens to spot marine biologist Kim (Julia Culbert) collecting ocean water samples for her climate change research. It doesn’t look good. Kim carefully explains to Evan that the water is too acidic because there is too much CO2 in the water caused by global warming, and that in turn is causing the sea lions and whales to contract cancer, die and wash up on shore. It isn’t collisions with cargo ships, like the media is reporting, it’s global warming. But that is not where the story ends. Climate change, it turns out, is really bad. Remember, this is BIRDEMIC 3, and it is not a spoiler to clue you in that the birds, in particular the sea eagles, are super PISSED.

The chance encounter between Evan and Kim sets up what can only be described as a patented James Nguyen romantic thriller. This young couple has both epic adventure and steamy romance ahead of them. As the film ambles towards its enigmatic conclusion, our young couple will be packing serious heat, contemplating a space-elevator with a very mysterious, very Elon Musky Mr. Green, watching Russian-roulette with sharks, disco dancing for hours, encountering booze-fueled biker gangs, engaging in heavy petting and of course, laying waste to a shit-storm of really angry birds.

Severin Films distributed the extraordinary BIRDEMIC SHOCK AND TERROR in 2010 but was not involved in the less-well-received BIRDEMIC 2. There were just too many cooks hovering over that pot. In order to recreate the magic of the first, they yielded 100% creative control and director’s cut to director and screenwriter James Nguyen. Severin wrote the check, and three years later, without ever seeing a draft of the script, Nguyen returned with a bottle filled to the brim with romantic and thrilling lightning. (TIM LEAGUE)
