Big Daddy's Flowers

Under the mentorship of indie icon Alexandre Rockwell, Matthew Osubor turns his hometown of Providence into the backdrop for his feature film debut, centering on the enigmatic Big Daddy and his thriving flower delivery service. Osubor stars as an unsuspecting deliveryman who takes his new job so seriously that it takes him a long time to realize why he cares far more about the magnificent floral arrangements than his clients do. But what is a guy to do when he can no longer pay the rent and refuses to keep giving in to his landlady’s advances to settle his debt in kind? On top it all off, the installment payments for his late grandmother’s BMW are woefully overdue. Meanwhile, Big Daddy has money and power, and knows how to live life to the fullest. O death, where is thy sting? It is an affectionate story featuring cool drifts, small-time crooks, and big emotions—all brought to the screen with an infectious lightness of touch.
