Little Brother, Sheridan O’Donnell’s debut feature, starring J.K. Simmons, Daniel Diemer (PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS), and Philip Ettinger (FIRST REFORMED) is out now on digital and on demand in the US through Gravitas Ventures and Europe through Contre-Jour.
Little Brother begins after Pete’s (Ettinger) latest suicide attempt pushes his overbearing father (Simmons) to recruit his younger brother Jake (Diemer) to drive him home from Albuquerque to Seattle. The brothers aren’t just oil and water; they’re fire and gasoline—and they’re both crammed inside a busted-up van for 1,400 miles with nowhere to hide. As they cross the American West, the two struggle to reconcile their past and forge a new bond.
