A Note from the Director
Gone Said the Vulture is an introspective feature film that explores deep and personal themes such as loss, depression, loneliness, self-worth, and the question of what true selfless love looks like. It is a truly unique story about human stubbornness and the effects of the pure, unconditional love of a friend. Full of excitement and twists, this story will have you waiting until the last moment to know the fate of the intricate characters involved.
“[Gone Said the Vulture] keeps you guessing what is really happening. It isn’t until the end that all of the pieces finally fall together. It is more than a clever story. There is a message behind it that we need to remember.”
