Synopsis
The Nelson sisters are throwing a baby shower, and things take a hilarious turn for the worse when the man delivering their food happens to be their long-lost deadbeat dad.
A very pregnant Demia and her sister, June, are throwing a baby shower; playing games, opening gifts, and waiting for their late ass food delivery. When the food arrives, June and Demia are stunned to realize that their delivery driver happens to be their long-lost deadbeat dad, Roy. Having run away to be a flight attendant (and then fired for joining the Mile High club), the sisters haven't seen their father in almost 20 years.
June, the younger of the two and a big softie, keeps melting for her father's half-assed explanations while the suspicious Demia remains unconvinced. The only way out of this situation — and to finally eat — is by being honest. But will Roy rise to the occasion?

Director Statement
Double Delivery is proof we can find humor in our worst moments. Through comedy, we explore a heavy topic, allowing audiences to both have a laugh and reflect on their own parental relationships. The film reminds us that our parents are human and deeply flawed. It also makes us laugh our ass off.
Win-win.
The relationship between the artist and the audience is a silent but intimate one, and it’s one I don’t take for granted. I create because as a storyteller, I see this sacred relationship as an opportunity to take care of people, be it providing an escape, a laugh, or a moment of understanding.
