Heels

Adopted brothers Jody and Ronnie go to extreme measures to save their gay dad’s family business by “wrestling” on the local circuit. Fighting for acceptance and unity they try to preserve the only stability they’ve ever known. As their third rate, wrestling promoter Benny tells them, “You’re the best losers I have. “ They set out to prove him wrong, not by going from wrestling “heels” to “heroes,” but by saving their family’s one of a kind BBQ restaurant that closed it’s doors after a family tragedy.

Directed by Ryan Bottiglieri, Heels leans on a strong ensemble — Ryan Bottiglieri, Britt George, Stacey Scowley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2018.
