Girl Flu

Streaming video - 2016

Twelve-year-old Bird (Jade Pettyjohn) is mature for her age, a thoughtful sixth grader who dreams of doing the grocery shopping so that all food groups are represented but whose emotional wisdom starts to slip when her body begins to develop. After her first period arrives in an embarrassingly public way, Bird turns to her single mother (Katee Sackhoff, *Battlestar Galactica*) for guidance; however, her mom is a flighty stoner who finds this milestone just as befuddling as her young daughter. Already frustrated by their recent move to Echo Park from the Valley, Bird wishes everything would start making sense again. Winner of Best Narrative Feature at the **Florida Film Festival**. *"Girl Flu. is everything indie comedy should be and ra...rely is: fearless, committed to character and willing to not only get dirty but to stay that way."* - Bob Strauss, **The Los Angeles Daily News** more
