Plot

The Frankenstein Brothers is a coming of age romantic comedy centered on the lives of twin brothers Luke and Corey Frankenstein in the months following college graduation. Orphaned at the age of five, the brothers inherited their family brewery—the real-life Left Hand Brewing Company—and were left in the care of their uncle, a well-meaning but less than ideal paternal figure.

Raised on beer, with the assumption they’re all grown up, Luke and Corey decide it’s time to finish their family beer; a beer their parents started but were never able to finish twenty years ago. But when the idealistic Luke meets a girl whose family shows him the home life he's always wanted, he abandons Corey and their family beer in pursuit of this budding relationship.

Corey, however, refuses to go down without a fight, and the ensuing mayhem that follows pits brother against brother and forces the Colorado wild boys to finally grow up and decide what kind of men they really want to be.

Production

The Frankenstein Brothers was conceived in 2008 by brothers Lee Roy and Kane Kunz. Lee Roy studied at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and Kane at Dartmouth College, the project acquired financing in May 2009. The team drew heavily upon its primary financiers’ powerful Denver network to obtain nearly unprecedented access to local shooting locations and resources at free or vastly discounted rates to achieve extraordinarily high production values.

In spring 2009, Kunz began recruiting young filmmakers from USC and the greater Los Angeles communities, fleshing out remaining crew positions with experienced industry veterans. Principal photography commenced on September 2, 2009, and wrapped on September 25.
