Everything changes for the pair when Jerry Lee is involved in a hit and run incident, and the brothers are forced to flee to the home of FrankÆs ex, Annie. Consumed by guilt and self-loathing, Frank and Jerry are forced to face the truth of their existence and the responsibility for Jerry LeeÆs crime. Set in the beautifully captured expanse of the Sierra Nevadan frontier, THE MOTEL LIFE is a sincere and effortless mediation on the nature of brotherhood, guilt and the outlaw spirit.
ReviewsChicago Reader - This independent drama effectively captures the spirit of much contemporary fiction: the tone is at once precious and stark, and the narrative drifts from one episode to another (and from realism to fantasy) as though it were playing out in a dream., Hollywood Reporter - Sensitive lensing and acting render an unusual story of brotherly love touching in a promising first film.
