A short film by Dominic De Lay

 

 


Putting our heads together


7 girls and a guy

Six girls of different races and nationalities were adopted into the O'Malley Family. Adults now and their adoptive parents passed away, the unlikely sisters return to the family home for the annual O'Malley Thanksgiving dinner. Tensions are high as oldest sisters Camilla and Giselle confront each other with old resentments. But there are bizarre complications as well: Why does Camilla insist that she didn't prepare the beautiful dinner? And to complicate matters, why is Zuni the only one who finds the turkey edible? The fight at the dinner table leads to a food fight in the kitchen before the sisters can discover the secret to the food and rediscover the secret of the Sisters O'Malley.

An extremely convincing ensemble of talented and beautiful actresses is the heart of this unique experience. Warm photography by John Hall II and haunting music by Ady Cohen give further dimension to the movie's magic realism. Writer and director Dominic De Lay and producer Hillary C. Cook invite you into the O'Malley home, where anything can happen.
