Sordid Lives is a 2000 American black comedy film written and directed by Del Shores, in his directorial debut. It is based on his 1996 play -- inspired by Shore's own coming out experience -- about a Texas family coming together in the aftermath of the matriarch's death. Produced independently, filming took place in Los Angeles on a $500,000 budget in late 1999. It was shot digitally that was later transferred to 35mm film.
