Welcome to the Family

format: 29 min. Digital Video
logline: It's Allan and Marla's wedding night. Marla's sister Jane has agreed to care for their ailing mother, but first she is going to dredge up some family secrets.
synopsis: Allan's wedding night isn't going well. He's in a basement helping his new wife, Marla, and her acid-tongued sister Jane pack up their childhood home. The sisters are selling the house, and Jane has agreed to take in their ailing mother.

Or at least, that's what Allan thinks. As the night progresses, the sisters drag out long-buried secrets and spin new, dangerous lies, until Allan's own painful past threatens to destroy the happiness he thought he'd found.
