Trailer Overview
"I can’t keep hurting just to keep everyone else from hurting." Gravitas has revealed an official trailer for an indie drama titled Little Brother, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Sheridan O’Donnell after many other shorts.
Film Details
Little Brother follows Jake, played by Daniel Diemer, as he drives his older brother Pete, played by Philip Ettinger, home for a family intervention after his most recent suicide attempt. The brothers aren’t just oil and water; they’re fire and gasoline—and they’re both crammed inside a busted-up van for 1,400 miles with nowhere to hide. As they cross the American West together, the two struggle to reconcile their past and forge a new bond. Their overbearing father is played by J.K. Simmons (mostly on the phone). The cast includes Polly Draper, Ellen Humphreys, and Fischer Knapp.

Story
Little Brother is the story of two estranged brothers, Jake (Daniel Diemer) & Pete Duffy (Philip Ettinger), who embark on a road trip together from Albuquerque to Seattle. Pete has just attempted suicide for the umpteenth time in his life, and his overbearing parents (Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons and Polly Draper) have recruited Jake to drive Pete from his home in New Mexico to Washington State for a family intervention. The brothers are at once uneasy friends and sworn rivals and have a long and complicated history. These two are not just oil and water, they’re fire and gasoline. And they’re both crammed inside a busted-up van for 1,400 miles with nowhere to hide.
Conclusion
Little Brother is a poignant and thought-provoking film that explores the complex relationship between two brothers and their struggle to reconcile their past and forge a new bond.
