Family
Directed by Laura Steinel
Produced by Stage 6 Films, Naegle Ink
A warm, comedic story about an unlikely aunt-niece bond that forms through chaos and mutual understanding, grounded in genuine emotional growth.
Kate Stone is career-focused with a brash attitude that keeps relationships at an arm's length. When her estranged brother calls asking her to baby-sit her tween niece Maddie, Kate reluctantly agrees to help. But baby-sitting overnight unexpectedly turns into a week, and Kate's life spins into chaos. As Maddie reveals stories of being bullied and of wanting to run away and be a Juggalo, the two form a unique bond.
