Francis (Cory Knauf) documents his home life — which happens to involve quite a bit of bloody murder — in The Hamiltons.

Yesterday, I posted my interview with Mitchell Altieri, one half of the filmmaking team known as the Butcher Brothers — the Bay Area not-really-brothers (though they are tight-bros-from-way-back-when) responsible for The Hamiltons, described by Altieri as “a horror coming-of-age story.” (More on the film in my entry below). Here, I chew the fat with the other Butcher Brother, inner Sunset resident Phil Flores, who spilled on casting, the true genesis of the Butcher Brothers, and the film’s ending — though any potential spoilers were strictly off the record, of course.
