Andre Holland, as Ray Burke, in ‘High Flying Bird’ navigates the NBA’s inner machinery to get his clients playing — and paid.
We first spent an interesting hour listening (unexpectedly — for me!… who knew he was going to be there?? … not me!!) to Steven Soderberg talking about his new film, the shooting with an iPhone and the new world of Netflix, Amazon etc. Wow!
Then we watched the film. A strange one I thought.

High Flying Bird is about a somewhat strange sports negotiation for the services of a new basket ball superstar-to-be. High level, endless one on one meetings make up all the film’s scenes in midtown Manhattan, in bars, offices, fancy apartments, always moving. About a young basketball super star-to-be’s services, his lawyers and his hangers-on.
Everyone is black, affluent, educated, articulate, purposeful, real Manhattan business and wealthy types.
