Synopsis
The Jennings are your classic meat and potatoes suburban family. Every Sunday they meet for family dinner. But this Sunday is different. This Sunday Joy serves up her famous Banana Breeze pie – reserved only for the most special occasions.

Joy (Mother) and Jerry (Father) are painfully cheerful, loving but overbearing parents. Jolene (Sister) and Jim (Brother) their more cynical and pragmatic children. Everyone is a bit wound up at dinner, desperately trying to keep their own personal problems to themselves. Not for long though – as the unsavoury uncle Frank crashes the party for a little slice of pie and a lot of extortion. With the loss of their livelihood and family home at stake, the unlikely Jennings take a stab at murder. In attempting to get rid of Frank’s body and deal with potential witnesses, the family grows closer as each of their respective secrets are aired out. The Jennings learn how to slice up a body while also learning vulnerability, communication, unconditional love and support for one another.

Family that slays together stays together! Mother Father Sister Brother Frank is equal parts charming, gory and hilarious.

Press

“Mother Father Sister Brother Frank is one of the zaniest, funniest, irresistibly charming films you’ll likely see in some time. I didn’t know what to expect when I sat down to watch it, but it floored me in the best possible way.” – Morbidly Beautiful
