Synopsis

Linda White, a barren Christian housewife, leads a sheltered existence in suburban Texas. Her world is turned upside-down when she discovers that her dying husband, Abe, has a 23-year old illegitimate son named Raymond living in Florida. Somewhere on the edge of guilt and loneliness, Linda grants Abe's final wish and sets off on a quixotic journey to find Raymond and bring him back before her husband passes away. Along the way, Linda's wonderfully bizarre relationship with Raymond will teach her more about herself than she ever imagined possible and force her to come to terms with her troubled past.[2]

Awards and Accolades

Natural Selection was well received at its 2011 South by Southwest debut, winning both jury and audience awards for best narrative feature, in addition to best screenplay, best editing, and best score/music. [3] Lead actors Rachael Harris and Matt O'Leary both received breakthrough performance awards.

The film so impressed critic Roger Ebert that he showed the film at Ebertfest in 2011. Both director Robbie Pickering and actress Rachel Harris received Golden Thumb awards.
