Forager Films has released the trailer for Zach Clark‘s upcoming dramatic comedy Little Sister, starring Addison Timlin as a nun who returns home after her veteran brother (Keith Poulson) is released from the hospital after getting injured while deployed in Iraq. The film also stars Ally Sheedy, Barbara Crampton (continuing her run of great roles) and Peter Hedges.
As a fan of Clark’s earlier films, especially White Reindeer and Vacation!, I cannot wait to check this one out when it’s released in theaters and on VOD platforms October 14th.
October, 2008. Young nun Colleen (Addison Timlin) is avoiding all contact from her family, until an email from her mother announces, “Your brother is home.” On returning to her childhood home in Asheville, NC, she finds her old room exactly how she left it: painted black and covered in goth/metal posters. Her parents (Ally Sheedy and Peter Hedges) are happy enough to see her, but unease and awkwardness abounds. Her brother (Keith Poulson) is living as a recluse in the guesthouse since returning home from the Iraq war. During Colleen’s visit, tensions rise and fall with a little help from Halloween, pot cupcakes, and GWAR. Little Sister is a sad comedy about family – a schmaltz-free, pathos-drenched, feel good movie for the little goth girl inside us all.
