Movie Synopsis: The Phenomenal Funeral of Frankie Phillips is a comedy focused on 5 teenagers after the death of their beloved, adopted, eccentric grandfather. In a series of video tapes, he presents each of them with a customized challenge that is required to receive their inheritance. These personal challenges are humorous and awkward - and push them to the edge. With nothing but love for them and encouragement for their future, Frankie presents one last challenge for them after his death. These young adults learn more about Frankie than they thought - and also about themselves.

Run Time: This film is 1 hour 43 minutes. After it concludes, there will be a 15-minute break before we begin the optional Q&A session with the writer, director, and leads of the film.
