World premiering at last year’s Austin Film Festival, the film directed by Chris Cottam (A Christmas Number One ) follows two distant cousins who’ve never met — one in NYC, the other in the smallest town there is in Ireland — who come together to finally put an end to a generations-long family feud… It doesn’t go well.

Reiser wrote the script with Wally Marzano-Lesnevic and produced alongside Max Brady and Cottam.

Said Reiser in a statement to Deadline, “This is the film I’ve wanted to make for years, and I am so proud of how it’s turned out. And to help put it out into the world, I couldn’t ask to be in more capable hands than the most excellent team at Quiver.”
