The lines between real life and reel life blur in this intimate portrait of the Adams family – an unconventional clan of independent horror filmmakers. Blending vérité documentary footage, personal archives, and scenes from their own films, Blood and Guts paints a raw and tender picture of creative collaboration, free-range parenting, and the chaos of family life lived on and off camera. As they race to complete their final family film before their youngest daughter, Zelda, leaves for college, parents Toby Poser and John Adams must confront the inevitable shift that comes with letting go – redefining not only how they see themselves in the world, but who they are as artists when the kids leave the frame.

Filmmaker Notes:
After meeting and falling in love with Toby, Zelda, Lulu and John, we got completely sucked into their world. They reminded us why we started making films in the first place. We know audiences will fall as hard for them as we did and we can’t wait to see what they do next. As the Adams like to say, “DIY til you die”!
