Director Kristian Day and makeup artist Patrick Boltinghouse collaborated on this short film. Boltinghouse, who had done the makeup for Pride Weekend 2010 in Des Moines, Iowa, contacted Day after the parade, describing having a bird perched on his shoulder. Day simply responded that he would prepare the camera. Filmed entirely at home, the resulting film features two versions: a standard play and a continuous loop version shown at the Resident Artists: Guns Blazin' show on July 9th, 2010, in Des Moines.
