Interesting facts

A.K.A. Birdseye is a 2002 Swiss film directed by Stephen Beckner and Michael Huber. The film follows Colorado sheriff Nolan Sharpless as he investigates the disappearance of a Swiss man known as Birdseye. Presented in a documentary-like style that incorporates surveillance footage and television formats, it premiered in August 2002.

Production

The directors spent seven years securing financing for the film. When pitching it to potential investors, they used fabricated press materials that presented the story as if it were real. The finished film combines surveillance footage with talk-show, news, and reality-television formats, and shifts between the United States and Zurich, including shots of Colorado.
