STARRING CAITLIN MCGEE, KEVIN DUNN, AND RACHAEL HARRIS Abandoned by her beloved father, Yale Parker, when she was nine, Mackenzie (MAC) Mitchell’s adult life has been consumed with alcohol and run-ins with the law causing a deep rift with her son, Ryan, 12. When Ryan needs an emergency kidney transplant, his only chance at survival might be the last person Mac wants to ask for help — her father, who she hasn’t seen for thirty years. Their reunion is complicated when Yale reveals a jaw-dropping secret that he has eight other families that he kept hidden from her all her life…and one of them might be a match to save her son. As this odd couple set off on an epic road trip to track down her half-siblings, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, ultimately both learning that ‘genes’ run deep. YALE is based on a true story about the writer’s maternal grandfather. When he first learned about his family lore as a young teen, he couldn’t believe it was true and knew he had to write about it. The film stars Caitlin McGee (Mythic Quest), Kevin Dunn (Transformers), Rachael Harris (The Hangover), Benjamin Mackey (Paradise), and Dominic Leeder (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning). It was directed by Jay Silverman (Camera) and written by Van Billet (Saving Paradise). The film was produced by Bethany Cerrona, Ian Christian Blanche, Kevin Dunn, and Joe Gamache. YALE has its WORLD PREMIERE at Dances With Films on June 18, 2026. The film is currently not rated by the MPAA and is available for sale in all territories.
