“A dedicated birder and high school teacher, Ron Spencer (Tom Cavanagh) has always dreamed of being Head of Ornithology at Point Pelee National Park.  But when the job is given to his young rival Floyd Hawkins (Jamie Spilchuk), Ron teams up with his former student and high school janitor Ben (Mark Rendall) to get revenge, a young stoner who has reasons of his own to get back at Floyd.  With a solid cast that includes appearances from Fred Willard and Canadian icon Graham Greene, The Birder is a well made and incredibly likeable comedy from director Ted Bezaire.  Easily the most polished and widely accessible of these selections, The Birder is a charming and very entertaining film that is a standout at the festival.”
