A Voice In The Head Production

A desperate housewife. A troubled father. A crippled and disfigured teenage girl. Three haunted characters. Three harrowing and unforgettable journeys into self-mutilation, murder and the pits of despair, which director Douglas Buck uses to reflect on America's declared foremost concern today; the family, struggling to survive amidst the cauldron of hollow religious practices, alienation and spiritual despair threatening at any moment to explode into violence. Family Portraits: A Trilogy Of America collects Buck's three films (Cutting Moments, Home and Prologue) as they were meant to be seen, starting with hell on Earth and ending ultimately on a small act of salvation.
