'Life's a Breeze' and 'White Bird in a Blizzard' Announced for Blu-ray[teaser]Lance Daly's comedy and Gregg Araki's drama head to Blu-ray in January.

'Life's a Breeze' is a charming comedy that follows a family struggling to stay afloat and together through hard times. The family is turned upside down when Nan's (Fionnula Flanagan) unemployed slacker son Colm (Pat Shortt), and his niece Emma (Kelly Thornton) make a well-intended attempt to clean out her house and accidentally trash the mattress where she's been stashing her life savings. Now they must overcome their many differences to lead their family in a race against time to find a lost fortune. 'White Bird in a Blizzard' - Kat Connors' perfect homemaker mother, Eve, a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears - just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality.

In fact, it's almost a relief. But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve's disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother's departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it.
