MFA HOUSTON SCREENS "AN ORDINARY FAMILY"


Houston-based filmmaker Mike Akel (Chalk) returns to the MFAH with his latest feature. An Ordinary Family is a humorous drama about one family, two brothers, and a really big problem. The Biedermans’ annual family reunion gets rocky when Seth arrives with his new boyfriend. No one bats an eye except his brother Thomas, a married man of the cloth. Despite a well-meaning attempt to surprise everyone, things do not go as planned, throwing Thomas and the family into an awkward, week-long vacation where everyone has problems and no one wants to talk about them.

“If Chalk was a playfully funny film, then An Ordinary Family is a bittersweet one, with Akel again emphasizing an easy rapport between his characters that seems remarkably akin to real life.” —Los Angeles Film Festival

"An Ordinary Family" screens on April 21, 2012 @ 7:00 PM
