secrets and jealousy bubble to the surface

UK Film Council, Film London and Channel 4 present a Fifty Nine Productions film.

A family portrait session goes horribly wrong as secrets and jealousy bubble to the surface under the photographer’s watchful gaze.

A Family Portrait was written and directed by associate artist of Fifty Nine Productions, Joseph Pierce, and develops the live action rotoscope technique employed on the award winning short, Stand Up.

Selected for over 30 international festivals, and winner of 8 awards, A Family Portrait was also long listed for a 2011 Academy Award.
