Experimental Film – Work in Progress
(Director • Cinematographer • Editor)
S Y N O P S I S
This film explores my discovery at age 32 of my father’s relationship with another woman in the 1960s, and the sister I never knew I had. Contacted by strangers on the internet in early 2001, I corresponded for several months with a woman named Peggy and her daughter Stephanie. I was forced to come to terms with the fact that these women knew too much about my family history to be lying. When I confronted each of my parents separately, their manner of denial spoke volumes.
