I’ll admit I had never heard of The Greatest Inheritance or the production company behind it, Mustard Seed Entertainment, however I was drawn to the film on its short, but sweet, synopsis:

The estranged DuBose siblings return home to bury their mother and claim their inheritance, only to discover that their deceased mother has hidden the deed to the entire estate somewhere on the property.

That synopsis, to me, screamed “scavenger hunt” movies like Rat Race and Midnight Madness; mixed with a film such as Death at a Funeral, which meant I was immediately intrigued – expecting a fun, perhaps madcap, comedy that also had a touching side given it’s about a family. Unfortunately...

Stars: Denise Richards, John Schneider, Madeleine Byrne, Miya Horcher, Vanessa Merrell, Laurine Price, Nicole Weider, Lauren Chavez-Myers, Jenna Marie Hess | Written by Alexandra Boylan, John K.D. Graham, Andrea Polnaszek | Directed by John K.D. Graham

I grew up in the era of the body-swap movie, the 1980s, where a resurgence in the genre led to films like Big, Vice Versa, 18 Again, Like Father Like Son, and my personal favourite (and one of my Top 5 films of all time) Dream a Little Dream. Since then there have been a myriad of such films, be they family friendly like 13 Going on 30 and the Lindsay Lohan-starring Freaky Friday remake; to more raunchy fare like The Change-Up and The Hot Chick… Most have one thing in common: the characters within learn from the situation. Switched is no different, however never have I ever experienced a body swap film like this one.

Exclusive: American Pie and American Beauty actress Mena Suvari will star in Inheritance, a family film from Mustard Seed Entertainment.

John K.D. Graham wrote and directed the film, which follows estranged siblings returning to their familial estate to claim the inheritance their mother left behind. After discovering that the deed to the estate is hidden on the property, a caper ensues as they compete to find it. Their adventure brings them back together as they discover the message their mother intended for them: that the only true inheritance is the kingdom of Heaven.

Jaleel White (Family Matters), Jeff Schroeder (Wish for Christmas), Cameron Kelly (Solve), and Meredith Riley Stewart (Devious Maids) co-star.

Graham, Alexandra M. Boylan, and Andrea Polnaszek wrote the screenplay, which was produced by Stewart, Boylan, and Graham. The film is expected to be released sometime next year.

Suvari’s recent credits include American Horror Story: Apocalypse, Psych: The Movie,...

The new family feature "Switched", directed by John K.D. Graham, stars Denise Richards, John Schneider and Madeleine Byrne:

"...tired of being bullied, 'Cassandra Evans' prays that her nemesis, 'Katie Sharp', the queen bee of social media, would know what it's like to walk a day in her shoes.

"Her prayer is answered in an unexpected way when they get 'switched'..."

John K.D. Graham’s Home Sweet Home is gearing up for a festival run, with the film set to premiere at the Albuquerque Film Festival, where it will screen from August 16th to the 19th. The picture, which hasn’t garnered all too much attention at this point, sounds promising, and if the creepy new poster we’re unveiling is any indicator of what’s to come, we may find ourselves surprised by this indie genre offering. Andrew Boylan handles the script, while Alexandra Boylan, Raquel Cantu, Christopher Dempsey, Lorena Segura York and Andrew himself front the film.

Shock Till You Drop has your first look at the teaser poster for Home Sweet Home, a title that is making its debut in our headlines.

Directed by John K.D. Graham, the film concerns a lone woman who battles two psychotic squatters for her home and her life.  Alexandra Boylan, Raquel Cantu, Lorena Segura York and Christopher Dempsey star.

Home Sweet Home is hitting the festival circuit beginning with the Albuquerque Film Festival this August.  Apropos, as the film was shot in New Mexico.
