Story (Sketches):
The Miller family lives in the (fictional) City of Fenville, on the distant outskirts of a major metropolitan area. Kristen Miller (Rebecca Delcomyn) has never forgiven her father, George (Robert Emmett Young), for the way he treated his son, Nathan (Joe Kaczkowski), when he left home to join the Army. Now, years later, Nathan is on his way home, and old wounds are reopened when George rents out Nathan’s bedroom to a mysterious stranger named Brian (Louis Kerman), who inadvertently invades every aspect of Kristen’s fragile existence.

Concept (Secrets of Fenville):
Secrets of Fenville is a collection of nine interwoven stories all centering around various occurrences in a fictional suburb called Fenville. Ranging from the strange to the sublime, from the frightening to the bizarre, each story has a secret to share, often with unexpected results. Nine Detroit-Area filmmakers collaborated on the film, each directing a different segment.
