Trailer: Jay Duplass Explores L.A.'s Dark History in MANSON FAMILY VACATION
If you aren't listening to Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This podcast, I'd highly recommend checking it out. It's a podcast devoted to the secret and/or forgotten histories of old Hollywood, and it's absolutely fascinating. She just did a big 12-part series on Charles Manson this summer, and as someone who only knew the basics about the murders committed by Manson's "family," it was enthralling to hear everything broken down in great detail with tons of context about the major players involved.
So it's good timing, then, that The Orchard has released a trailer for a new film called Manson Family Vacation, which follows a successful guy (Jay Duplass) who goes on a trip with his burnout brother (Linas Phillips) to all of the relevant spots around the Los Angeles area that the Manson family lived, visited, or committed murder. Manson Family Vacation comes to iTunes and On Demand on October 6th.
Nick Morgan (Jay Duplass) has it all: a loving family, a beautiful home and a successful law practice in Los Angeles. His estranged brother Conrad (Linas Phillips) has nothing but a backpack. When Conrad shows up for a surprise visit, all he wants to do in town is go to the infamous Manson Family murder sites. Reluctantly, Nick joins him and ends up on a road trip that leads the brothers into the modern-day world of Charles Manson.
