Creator: Philip Boast
Genre: Comedy
Age rating: 13 and older
When Frank brings his new fiancee home, the family set off for a getting-to-know-you vacation in the woods ... they shouldn't have.
Project collaboration: Open
Synopsis: When Bill and Cosima's son Frank brings home an heiress as his fiancee, no one could be more delighted than his parents, and they all set off on a getting-to-know-you camping holiday.

They shouldn't have gone over the waterfall ...

As bad goes to worse in the remote woodland wilderness and the beans run out, it quickly becomes clear that none of them is who they appear to be. A crashed Mafia plane with a cargo of gold bars, a lost burial ground, Rembrandt's American portraits, a police drugs stash, a suitcase full of rocks, serial tax evasion, a baby brought up by bears and wolves, an undercover cop who talks in his sleep, a penniless heiress, an assassin with a horrific weapon-choice, several murders, one of the worst examples of spaghetti abuse ever witnessed on screen, a bear with a grudge, feral attack dachshunds, a lost son rediscovered and a stolen son lost - oh, and a story of true love - make for a vacation to be remembered. ... by the survivors!

Fun film of the year. Definitely. Bring your friends.

    Creative Notes:
    REVIEWS WELCOME. In mid-July we wondered - could we think up a movie idea, write it, film it, and upload a test movie by the end of August? With a maximum of six actors (2 female, 4 male), shot within 2 miles of home, with original music, for zero budget?

    In the end we budgeted $3.50 for the model airplane – we couldn’t afford Mob skeletons or a huge waterfall. But I think you get the idea?
