Each Wednesday night, Ed's cozy suburban home in Silver Spring, Md., is transformed into a raucous international dominoes club. Players from all parts of the globe show up to slap down a bone, forming an odd, yet unique family portrait amid thumping reggae beats, flowing wine and contageous laughter.

Bone Mixers marks the third time Doug and Mike have combined their talents to make a film, sharing equal duty as writers, producers, directors, shooters, sound recordists, editors and designers. Their most recent previous collaboration, Senior Momet, took third place in the 2003 Prosperity Media Awards - a nationwide student film competition - and best film in American University's 2003 student film festival. The idea for Bone Mixers was sparked by a mutual interest in showcasing one of the many positive characteristics of the side of Washington, D.C., not associated with politics or non-profits.
