I Am a Seagull

About This Movie

I Am a Seagull brings a unique kind of chaos to Chekhov's classic. It’s not your typical documentary; it’s more like watching a creative fever dream unfold. The actors, all seasoned pros from the New York scene, gather in this lush lakeside retreat, and the atmosphere is thick with an artistic urgency. The blend of whimsical set pieces—those towering puppets and floating furniture—really sets it apart. It feels like a theatrical experiment, capturing the reckless abandon of creativity. Pacing is fluid, sometimes meandering, but that just adds to the vibe. The performances are layered, revealing a depth that keeps you engaged. This film captures the struggle and joy of artistic expression in a way that’s both intimate and larger-than-life.
