"Derby Day"

Dysfunctional Family Dukes it Out in Dark Comedy: "Derby Day"

Back in their hometown of Hot Springs for their father's funeral, the Ballard brothers are on a bit of a rampage. From their luxury box at the Oaklawn Racetrack, these bawdy brothers -- eldest, Frank; angry newlywed, Ned; ex-con, Johnny -- will spend this Derby Day drinking, cursing and unearthing secrets that threaten to forever tear the already tender fabric holding their family together. Written and directed by Samuel Brett Williams, this dark comedy is a hilarious examination of love, mortality and familial turbulence that caps off with a big finish.
