POOR TAX | Omeleto

This film had me captivated on just the dialogs alone. It also has the potential of making it a successful dark comedy sitcom!

You're right; it's a good premise.

Why dark comedy??!?

All of the actors were amazing. It felt so real.

The holidays can bring families together. Or tear them apart. On Thanksgiving, the chances of being a victim of a crime perpetrated by a member of your own family or someone you know rise by more than 50%. There are more inter family murders in America on Thanksgiving Day than any other day of the year.

I’m a retired police officer.
