Michael Clancy makes his feature film debut with the
black comedy Eulogy.
Zooey Deschanel plays
Kate Collins, an unhappy college student who is made even more unhappy when her grandfather (
Rip Torn) dies. Even though the entire family hates each other, they reunite at the home of
Grandma Collins (
Piper Laurie). Among other family members,
Kate observes a war between her washed-up actor dad,
Daniel (
Hank Azaria); her lesbian
Aunt Lucy (
Kelly Preston); her wound-up
Uncle Skip (
Ray Romano); and her strict
Aunt Alice (
Debra Winger). Tensions escalate and family secrets are ultimately revealed.
Kate is also inundated with the eulogy-writing duties, as she's the only one capable of such a task. Meanwhile, she reunites with old flame
Ryan Carmichael (
Jesse Bradford).
Eulogy premiered at the
Sundance Film Festival in 2004.
