What do you get when you have three generations of often-working comedians in a family, and someone dies? If you guessed “a terrible college application essay” and/or an independent autobiographical self-funded feature-length dark comedy, you’d be absolutely right. D(e)AD is the result of all of those previously listed circumstances: written by and starring Isabella Roland (Dropout.tv, Sex Lives Of College Girls); and directed by and starring Isabella’s MOM, Claudia Lonow (CREATOR/SHOWRUNNER of How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life, Accidentally on Purpose, Good Girls Don’t and Rude Awakening); and also starring the rest of their family.
