About this project

On Christmas Eve, 1979, celebrated artist JACK BURNS and his brother VINCENT witnessed the murder of their parents in cold blood. Twenty years later, the man convicted of the murders is released from prison and is found brutally stabbed to death the same day. Who killed the killer?

All signs point to Vincent who battles the demons of drug addiction and mental illness while suffering from sleep paralysis – a condition that blurs the line between the real and unreal.

To protect his brother, Jack is forced to confront his own demons and uncover the truth of what really happened the night his parents died - A truth that threatens to burn away his life of fame and fortune with murder and lies.

My Brother Jack is a classic who-done-it thriller with a twist you won’t see coming.

From the Writer/Director of BLIND.
