Bird in a Cage is a 1986 Academy Award-winning[1] comedic drama, by Antonio Zarro and Regent University’s first Student Academy Award (Gold Medal) winner[2].

In the film, the plight of a common thief is complicated when he hides out with a country family that mistakes him for the new preacher in town. As in Charlie Chaplin’s “The Pilgrim” and Max Beerbohm’s short story “The Happy Hypocrite,” the mistaken identity transforms the perpetrator in ways he did not expect.

The New York Times called the material "simple (and sometimes simplistic), but demand[ing] artistry." and that director/screenwriter Antonio Zarro "delivered that artistry.[3]"
