ARKANSAS PREMIERE!

Synopsis: 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 weeklong vacation where everyone has problems and no one wants to talk about them.

"The film is quietly affecting as it gently merges family drama with many nicely realized comedic moments. . . The ensemble very much convinces you that they are a family, and you wouldn't mind being invited to their next summer outing." --THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
