Raymond and Ray is written and directed by Rodrigo García (Albert Nobbs). It will center around the story of the titular half-brothers, “who have lived in the shadow of a terrible father. Somehow, they still each have a sense of humor, and his funeral is a chance for them to reinvent themselves. There’s anger, there’s pain, there’s folly, there might be love, and there’s definitely grave-digging,” reads the description (via Deadline).
The film is produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, Bone Curtis, and Julie Lynn for Mockingbird Pictures. It will be executive produced by Gabriela Rodriguez and Shea Kammer.
