Cross Stitch Bandits

Directed by Sharon Ott

"A layered and emotional family story. It’s funny and absurd, but challenging and sweet at the same time. "

Richmond Family Magazine

For the past 27 years, David has dutifully climbed the ranks at the same engineering firm and placed his family on a trajectory for success. His wife is a well-respected vice principal, his daughter is weeks away from graduating from law school, and his son should be going back to school any day now. Today, his family has gathered to celebrate his retirement by permanently laying his career to rest. The kooky party soon divulges into David scrambling to get everyone's lives back on track.
