A hilarious high-energy heist on the fairways of Myrtle Beach goes off course when four misfit work buddies from Twin Pines are funneled into a twisted plan to steal the purse for a $1 million golf tournament.
Birdies is a self-distributed indie comedy out now on Prime Video, Apple TV, Redbox and many more platforms. From the success of Birdies and The Golf Jokes we now have over 90k followers across Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube, and plan to leverage that cult following with all of our projects in the very near future. Birdies premiered in February 2022 to a sold out audience at Thalian Hall in Wilmington, NC, and was released on Amazon Prime in May, 2022. It was made with $110K of liquid cash and in-kind services and locations, with a $30k cash marketing budget, and in less than 18 months the film has grossed over $160K and repaid all private loans, investors, and sweat equity.
Birdies has been streamed over 4 million minutes across all platforms due to our team’s effective self-distribution method of promoting viral social media content and paid ads where we reached over 100 million people. The film has had additional media coverage from platforms like Golf Week/USA Today, Yahoo! Sports IndieWire, WRAL, WECT, and Star News documenting success as an indie comedy and a self-distribution model.
At Twin Pines, we started with a concept of golf comedy on YouTube with The Golf Jokes, followed by a full feature film, Birdies. Over 100 million views later on social media, and 4 million minutes streamed on Prime and Apple TV, we've amassed an audience of 90,000 followers on social media.
Our team is made up of experienced professionals on either side of the country in Los Angeles, CA, and Wilmington, NC - Two of the largest film production meccas in the United States. Together, we have decades of experience in studio and indie films and TV series, both in front of and behind the camera.
With our success of The Golf Jokes and Birdies, both streaming worldwide, and proving to be a profitable brand potential to expand, we plan to grow our catalogue and our audience with future productions like Birdies 2 and reach the massive audience we've only started to scratch the surface of.
