Family Secrets,
is an experimental docu-fiction that explores the notion of family secrecy and what "truths" lay hidden beneath old family photos and home movies. The film pieces together iconic imagery of "family life" with the imagined inner thoughts, confessions and journal entries of family members. The result is a revealing portrait of the inner-workings of family dynamics. Release is slated for fall 2010.
