The director of
The Ten Rules (which was the basis for the new Logo series
Exes & Ohs) and the producers of the 2005 festival favorite

A misunderstood wedding speech and a rumor she’s a lesbian later, her newly-married sister comes to visit for some family bonding. However, when she meets Alex’s stand-in “girlfriend” all bets are off in this quirky comedy. Also starring Charlie Schlatter
