Synopsis

Travis’s first award-winning short tells the “gloriously surreal” story of three seven-year-olds forced to endure their mother’s culinary abuses. Anderson Children premiered at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival and went on to play at over forty festivals worldwide, including South by Southwest and Slamdance. “This highly quirky dysfunctional family saga feels like a missing Wes Anderson short.” —Indiewire
