In Memory of My Father

Synopsis

Hollywood, Modern Day - A self-proclaimed (somewhat justifiably) film legend bribes his son to document his death under the unquestioning assumption that it will be historically important. The Result...In Memory of My Father, a twisted celebration of a Hollywood family dealing with an inconvenient and frustrating day, regardless of the subtly distracting centerpiece which they can't seem to completely ignore...Dad's corpse.

With the inappropriate with of "Curb Your Enthusiasm, Writer/Director/Actor Christopher Jaymes steers us through Dad's wake, alongside his two brothers (Jeremy Sisto & Matt Keeslar) and Dad's fickle twenty-something girlfriend (Judy Greer). A festival favorite and winner of multiple awards including Best Picture at CineVegas & Santa Barbara FF, it boasts a top-notch ensemble cast and a superb soundtrack by indie veterans Belle & Sebastian.
