A Family Guide to Hunting is a dark comedy about an Asian-American family on a bonding hunting trip gone wrong. When Eva (the daughter) accidentally shoots her doomsday prepping boyfriend dead, her parents insist on getting rid of the body in order to protect her. The wilderness turns the temperature up on their dysfunctional family dynamics, as well as their unique brand of Asian- American sacrifice, love, and filial piety. Ultimately, it is a morbidly hopeful story of togetherness. After all, a family that hides a body together stays together.
