Directed by Michael Cahill (King Of California), Adopting Audrey is based on a true story and stars
Jena Malone as a directionless woman who enters the world of adult
adoption and is taken in by a family as dysfunctional as herself.
Robert Hunger-Bühler and Emily Kuroda also star.
"Seven years ago, I met a woman named Jenna Macfarlane, who told me the
story of her search for an adoptive family as an adult," says Cahill.
"I completely understood her decision to do that. Who doesn't want to
choose their own family at some time in their lives? What an opportunity
it would be to build these crucial relationships once we are older and
wiser. I knew that Jenna's story was one that, despite its unusual
circumstances, was deeply relatable."
Adopting Audrey will have its UK premiere at the Glasgow
Film festival before hitting VOD on March 13th.

The official synopsis reads:
Fired from her seventh job in two years and estranged from her family, Audrey (Jena Malone) dwells in a distinctly modern solitude, relying on Youtube for companionship. One night, a video rabbit hole leads her to the world of adult adoption, and she is inspired to try it herself.Audrey finds an adoptive family whose dysfunction mirrors her own and forms an unlikely bond with the misanthropic patriarch, Otto (Robert Hunger-Bühler), who is rough around the edges and has a few strained relationships of his own.
