BURT/Q&A with filmmaker Joe Burke, cinematographer Daniel Kenji Levin and actor Oliver Cooper

Burt, a 69-year-old street musician living with Parkinson’s, has his life turned upside down when Sammy, a wayward young man from New York, shows up claiming to be his son. Having always dreamed of being a father, Burt embraces Sammy and invites him to stay for the weekend at his home, where he lives with his grumpy landlord, Steve.

Inspired by the real-life of Burt Berger, who stars in the film alongside actor Oliver Cooper, this deeply personal movie captures Burt’s authentic portrayal as a musician living with Parkinson’s, offering a powerful love letter to Burt, his music, and the filmmaker’s own father, who also lives with Parkinson’s Disease. Executive produced by David Gordon Green.
