Owl And The Sparow Coming To Theaters!

Directed by Stephane Gauger, Owl and the Sparrow is an enchanting film of modern-day Saigon and the encounter between a young man (a lonely zookeeper) and a woman (a flight attendant looking for love), and the young girl (a runaway), who brings them all together.  Universal in its story, particular in its vibrant scenes of Vietnam, this is a poignant tale of yearning, love, and commitment.  The film is released by the first Vietnamese Amerian film distribution company Wave Releasing.
