WME Independent is handling international sales. The feature centers on the last passions of life and follows the unlikely friendship of kindly but no-nonsense Brooke (Burstyn) and discombobulated divorcee Nelson (Waititi) as they travel from Chicago to New York to return a lost racing pigeon.
Waithe plays the role of Shy, who helps Brooke on her journey to track down the owner of the lost pigeon. Production is underway at Disney Studios in Sydney.
