THE MATTACHINE FAMILY

Year 2023
Runtime 99 mins
Language English
Alberta Premiere

Led by a remarkably endearing performance by Nico Tortorella(Younger; Walking Dead: World Beyond), and ably supported by Juan Pablo Di Pace (Fuller House, Mamma Mia!), and the irrepressible Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), The Mattachine Family picks up at a critical moment in the life of Thomas. The child he and his husband, Oscar, had been fostering has been reunited with his birth mother, just as Oscar’s long-stagnant acting career has sent him to Michigan for months of filming.

In the bewildering lurch of change and loss, Thomas embarks on a journey to figure out what he truly wants from life, and what it means to be gay - and a parent! - in the 2020's.

At the centre of its huge, warm heart, The Mattachine Family is a fresh, funny, and very timely story about family, the bonds we form, and the way our relationships define, elude, and surprise us.
