  BIRDMAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ALEJANDRO G. IÑÁRRITU 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Birdman (2014), directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, follows Riggan Thomson, a faded Hollywood actor known for his role as the superhero "Birdman." Struggling with his past fame, Riggan attempts to reinvent himself by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway play. The film explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the pressures of fame, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Shot in long takes to create the illusion of a single continuous scene, Birdman delves into the complexities of artistic expression, personal redemption, and the challenges of escaping the shadows of past successes. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "The movie was rehearsed and shot in sequence, so the editing process only took two weeks." 
    
  "Only sixteen visible cuts can be found in the entire film." 
    
  "During filming, Edward Norton and Michael Keaton kept track of the actors' flubs, with Emma Stone making the most errors and Zach Galifianakis the fewest." 
    
  "Much of the film was shot inside Broadway's St. James Theatre, where the actors had to deliver up to fifteen pages of dialogue in one take while hitting precisely choreographed marks." 
    
  "Edward Norton's character parodies his own reputation for being difficult to work with, similar to the way Michael Keaton's Birdman mirrors his earlier role as Batman."

  The Inward Stage - A Performer's...

  The Inward Stage is not a memoir. It is not a manual. It is not a book of secrets. 
  It is a quietly luminous document, part philosophical journal, part poetic confession, written by a mindreader who spends his life performing illusions for others while quietly unraveling deeper truths for himself. 
  Drawn from times spent backstage, between cities, between minds, and between silences, these pages reveal the reflections of a man who reads thoughts not for applause, but for understanding. He writes of wonder, failure, silence, intimacy, and the sacred art of disappearing at just the right moment. 
  This is a book for those who have performed, on stages or in life, and for anyone who has ever longed to be understood beneath the surface. 
  Written in fragments, aphorisms, and meditations, The Inward Stage is a love letter to mystery, a witness to the sacredness of connection, and a guide for those who find themselves standing quietly at the edge of the visible world.

  Crash and Burn - A CEO's crazy...

  In the cut-throat world of low-cost airlines, competition is the name of the game. Not only up in the air but also on the ground.
  Crash and Burn is an insider's tale of the South African airline industry over the past thirty years and the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022, as told by Glenn Orsmond, twice CEO of Comair and the founder CEO of 1time. Orsmond takes the reader on a wild ride through the ultra-competitive sector of low-cost airlines that boomed after South African Airways' stranglehold on the skies was loosened in the 1990s. Comair – which operated both Kulula and British Airways – and 1time were at the forefront of this new wave of airlines that saw domestic flying and tourism take off.
  But after some incredible highs and lows, Comair crashed under Orsmond's watch despite the company's 75-year unblemished profit history. The pandemic's impact, the grounding of aeroplanes after a questionable regulator investigation and poor management decisions all contributed to its downfall.
  Expect tales of industry legends and innovation, but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms. You'll never think of flying in South Africa in the same way again.
