Birdshot is a 2016 Philippine coming-of-age thriller film written, directed and edited by Mikhail Red. Starring Mary Joy Apostol, Arnold Reyes, Ku Aquino, and John Arcilla, its story revolves around a farm girl (Apostol) in the countryside, who unwittingly kills a Philippine eagle, and two police officers assigned to track down the haribon's killer while investigating the mysterious disappearance of a busload of farmers en route to Manila.

Production

Birdshot was directed by Mikhail Red, who wrote the screenplay with his cousin, Rae Red. Red was also the film editor opposite Jay Halili. The cinematographer was Mycko David. The music used in the film was composed by Teresa Barrozo.

Red and his cousin began writing the script in 2014. Producer Pamela L. Reyes submitted it to the Doha Film Institute, which granted production funding for the film in early 2015. After winning the CJ Entertainment Award at the Busan Film Festival's Asian Project Market, other investors granted funding, including TBA Studios.

Red was inspired by a shooting incident in 2008, where a three-year-old Philippine eagle was shot and cooked by a Bukidnon farmer in Mount Kitanglad. Principal photography lasted for 23 days. Scenes were shot in the provinces of Isabela and Rizal, as well as at the Philippine Eagle Sanctuary in Davao City.

The color red is a prominent element in the film, signifying important scenes and details.
