00:07 My name is Angus MacLachlan and I am the writer/director of A Little Prayer,
00:11 which will premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
00:14 A Little Prayer is about a man in Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
00:17 who tries to protect his daughter-in-law when he finds out his son is having an affair.
00:21 I started this project when my daughter was 16.
00:25 She's now 21.
00:27 And I realized in retrospect that I was working on a story about parenting adult children.
00:32 How you still want to protect them and tell them what to do and you can't.
00:36 A Little Prayer is about family and love and secrets and choices and letting go.
00:46 I first came to Sundance in 1989 as a festival volunteer.
00:51 And I was last there with a film that I wrote called Junebug.
00:55 So I'm thrilled to be returning with another story about the confusing, funny, heartbreaking,
01:02 and transcendent aspects of being a member of a family.
