short film Human Sun... CLICK on the video above to learn more. Human Sun is a short dramatic-comedy written, directed, and starring Carl Bird McLaughlin. The story follows Corey Forsythe—a successful motivational speaker and spiritual guide—before, during, and after one of his shows. Corey is falling apart; namely from depression, suppressed anger, and acute paranoia stemming from the belief that he’s losing his mind. This all begins to physically manifest itself on stage in front of his enthusiastic audience, as well as offstage, after the show, when one of his followers gives Corey some unexpected wisdom. Put simply, this film is about a man who dedicates his life to helping others, meanwhile he is unable to help himself. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/596519eb1b631b48b56fa98f/59651a7909e1c4dd45361ba6/1499798026684/ Human Sun https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/read-me daily 0.75 2015-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1457556552500-Q24CTFAN95ERLHNXS8Y1/fuji_+02.jpg Contact https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/films daily 0.75 2015-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1442083756611-LQ40UGJ6KG1KQLKK7852/A018_C002_0405J2.0002374.jpg FILMS https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2015-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1442526569772-4VFXXJHQTEFGUY0UTJDK/42370004.jpg ABOUT https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/video daily 0.75 2016-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1457556738191-NNVG6XW2SJLMTHZE2RVY/400_+14.jpg Video https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/instagram daily 0.75 2016-03-08 https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/news-updates daily 0.75 2016-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1457555144921-9I70RMB783HV3E8PG54J/fuji_+02.jpg News https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/photos daily 0.75 2017-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550761898-YWRMP3SRISGP8P8215ES/160_10.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550603569-3KW9B8HIRCSU1ADHG69N/400_03.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550340647-99C61T9REKBJUMPMSOMP/400_17.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550637618-KHURXG8B84IXONX0BYN4/160_13.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550566161-8VFRE3JUFSX1R8DBXSFM/400_28.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550639586-ILMD55HAJ16QXF72633S/160_09.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1490550710235-5FIVESA1YVBQ13OAD4US/400_09.jpg Photos https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/about daily 0.75 2025-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1600363816844-LXXEDKVOBR7WUC86EAF8/portra400_%2520%2829%29+3.JPG About Carl Bird McLaughlin grew up in Santa Clarita, California. As a child of two actors, he immediately answered a calling to perform, acting in school plays and making short movies with his family's digital camcorder. He studied film directing at College of the Canyons, where he received the Filmmaker of the Year award two years in a row. He later attended CalArts for his undergraduate degree in the School of Film/Video. His work as an actor has played all over the world, including his starring role in David Nordstrom's Sawdust City (2011), which premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Carl worked as cinematographer and co-writer of LiTTLEROCK (2010), which won Best Screenplay at the Rhode Island Int'l Film Festival. His film Subsurface Flow (2014) has screened at numerous festivals, including Palm Springs International, Ottawa, and Portland, winning the Jury Award for Creative Achievement at the 2015 Arizona Int'l Film Festival. Human Sun (2018), which he wrote, directed, and starred in, premiered at Marfa Film Festival and screened at the Austin Film Festival. His forthcoming feature film, Wolfbiter, is in production and slated for release in 2026. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3154762/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1600363714593-E3AFE5TFUV09UN613LZT/portra400_%2520%2829%29+3.JPG About https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-03-27 https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/shop daily 0.75 2016-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1460606185433-DZDNR0N1FDJCXM20EHG2/subflow+poster.jpg Vendibles https://carlbirdmclaughlin.com/shop/subsurface-flow-poster-limited-print monthly 0.5 2016-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1442805704166-VKN2ZD7EF6AWDD0HMM8A/subflow+poster.jpg Vendibles - SUBSURFACE FLOW poster (limited print) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d75f3ce4b0085bee180abe/1460602731376-3I1ORX9J2IB5RRTO67ZP/subflow+poster.jpg Vendibles - SUBSURFACE FLOW poster (limited print)
