A feature-length comedy about an unconventional family with an explosive secret that’s about to blow up their last chance to be happy.
Jacqueline Stanzi is the matriarch of an eccentric family grappling with secrets, misunderstandings, and the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. As the eve of her daughter Franny's wedding to the deeply religious Matthew approaches, Jacqueline embarks on a mission to reveal a hidden truth, if only she could remember it. At the same time, Matthew harbors a secret of his own involving the peculiar religious cult that he is in. With Franny's unpredictable brother Alec, a hypnotist and con man, adding his unique brand of chaos to the mix, this roller coaster of emotions is a story of family, love, and the unexpected twists life throws our way.
This film, which is in the final stages of sound editing, showcases the Vivid Stage ensemble theatre company that's been around for 31 years. It's an adaptation of David Lee White's play, Blood: A Comedy, which the company produced ten years ago. Funded by a Kickstarter campaign and shot over eight days, A Relative Comedy is sharp, funny and a warm expression of the relationships that exist among the creators of the film.
