About Braking for Whales
Star and Brandon, estranged brother and sister, are brought together after their mother's recent death and her absurd final request to dispose of her ashes in the body of a whale. With no choice or face losing their much-needed inheritance - they embark on a road trip to Texas where they not only encounter adventure, but also encounter each other.
Directed by Sean McEwen, Braking for Whales leans on a strong ensemble — Tammin Sursok, Tom Felton, Wendi McLendon-Covey — 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 drama titles of 2019.
