2009-2010 'THE UNDERDOG SEASON'

When she’s cast as the “last girl” in a low-budget slasher flick, Sheena thinks it’s the big break she’s been waiting for. But news of the movie unleashes her malingering mother’s thwarted feminist rage, and Mom is prepared to do anything to stop filming…even if it kills her.

In a world of systematic, high-speed technology, some people expect to live life as efficiently as the machines they depend on... and when a machine breaks down, there is usually someone with the skills to fix it.  But in an age where things that don't work and can't be mended are thrown away, what do we do with something as human and messy as love?

A dark comedy about one family's attempts to keep out the "sickness" of the world by isolating themselves in a house where all the windows are covered with plastic, where the air-purifiers hum constantly, and where visitors are unwelcome.
