The Godfather Buck, directed by Thomas J. Churchill, stars Kyle Lowder (Days of Our Lives), Frederick Keeve (The Accompanist), Indar Smith (Daisy Boy) and Julie Eagleton (Stan & Ollie). Two brothers, who meet once a year at a cabin in Big Bear to hunt white-tailed deer for a week, uncover hidden family secrets and lies when their stepbrother drops for an evening, changing their lives forever. The film is primarily a heartfelt story of exploration of men’s attitudes towards women, male sexuality, intimacy and relationships, but is also the story of the loving relationship between three brothers. The films deals with the subject of men and masculinity, and incorporates hunting as a metaphor for relationships between men and women; a symbol of toxic masculinity in a male-donimated culture, as well as family secrets and lies, catharsis and healing.
