The Color Wheel is the story of JR (Carlen Altman), an increasingly transient aspiring news-anchor, as she forces her disappointing younger brother Colin (Alex Ross Perry) to embark on a road trip to move her belongings out of her professor-turned-lover's apartment (Bob Byington). Traveling through fog-shrouded highways of New England, uncomfortably running into old school-mates, revisiting shared familial history from which they have long since diverged, chaos and calamity are not far behind their beat up Honda Accord. It can only be a matter of time before JR and Colin arrive at the strangest and most unsettling of resolutions and put to rest their decades of animosity, half-baked sibling rivalry and endless bickering, in this comedic symphony of disappointment and forgiveness.

Press Quotes
Factory 25 deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Criterion in any discussion of the finest indie film labels.' and 'The film's denouement is spectacular, like a fever dream outtake from Solondz's Happiness, delivered with a self-aware verisimilitude redolent of the early works of John Cassavetes.
