Helter Skelter: Netflix Show Brotherly Love Towards “Manson Family Vacation”

They first made a huge splash with the 12 million dollar deal, and with their four-film pact with the Duplass Bros., they’re essentially dipping their toes into the micro indie sphere. Hours after landing Hannah Fidell’s 6 Years, Variety reports that J. Davis’ Manson Family Vacation is the second in line for VOD, now theatrical player Netflix.

Gist: Nick Morgan (Jay Duplass) is a successful lawyer who’s devoted to his wife and young son. His adopted brother Conrad (Linas Phillips) is a wayward soul who shows up in Los Angeles unannounced. Together they embark on embark on a road trip to the site of the Manson Family murders.

Worth Noting: J. Davis and Jay Duplass previously worked on Kevin – 36 minute docu film.

Do We Care?: Among the many Sundance predictions that I got wrong, but would end up premiering at the just completed SXSW film fest, the Playlist folks call it “a surprising gem of a brotherly love charmer.”
