EXCLUSIVE: Martin Kaszubowski’s feature film Earlybird has been acquired by Good Deed Entertainment for worldwide rights.
Shot in Milwaukee, the live theater-themed comedy stars Joshua Koopman (How to Rob, The Golden Scallop), Chloe Skoczen (2024 SXSW’s Things Will Be Different, Chicago Med), Mark Fearon (Chicago Fire), Meredith Johnston (Somebody, Somewhere) and a breakout performance from stage actor Julie Pope.
