Phase 4 Films will be releasing the comedy Familiar Strangers on DVD on November 10, 2009.
Written by John Bell and directed by Zackary Adler, Familiar Strangers, about changing relationships between parents and their growing children, features Nikki Reed (Twilight, Lords of Dog Town), Shawn Hatosy (Public Enemies), DJ Qualls (All About Steve) and Cameron Richardson (Alvin and the Chipmunks). The film won Best Ensemble Cast at Method Fest 2008.
Here's the synopsis from the press release:
Brian Worthington (Shawn Hatosy) reluctantly returns home for the Thanksgiving holiday after a long estrangement, carrying the baggage of unresolved conflict with his father Frank (Tom Bower). Frank has replaced his maturing children with his pets, new children “who never have to grow up.” Family friend Allison (Nikki Reed), long an admirer of Brian, is happy to find him back for a visit; she just might appreciate his family more than he does, and may help to make this return home bearable.
The DVD (English Closed Captions, Spanish Subtitles) will be available for a $29.99 SRP in the U.S. at all major retailers.
