FRANK & CINDY
USA, 2006, 73 MIN
DIRECTED BY G.J. ECHTERNKAMP
World Premiere

What if step-dad were once the lead singer in an '80s boy band and fell into the clutches of a blonde bombshell with a penchant for addictive substances, struggling to support her five-year-old son? Sound like a recipe for domestic success? Flash forward twenty-five years: the son has a camera and Mom and Step-dad are in his cross-hairs. Meet Frank and Cindy...would-be rock stars and would-be role models in a battle royale to prove which one has the right answer. Trouble is, neither one of them knows what the question was. It got lost in more than two decades of marriage, downers, and zinfandel...and the strange optimism that is the ultimate intoxicant of ambitious dreamers. Not your typical dysfunctional family melodrama, Frank & Cindy is an impossibly sweet and equally maddening film devoted to a magnificent car wreck of a family. And we are all bottle-necked on the highway, unable to look away.
