FIVE SISTERS PRODUCTIONS is an independent film production company helmed by the five Burton sisters (Maria, Jennifer, Ursula, Gabrielle, and Charity) and is based in Los Angeles.

THE HAPPIEST DAY OF HIS LIFE -- Called "a delightful gender-switch comedy" by The LA Times, THE HAPPIEST DAY OF HIS LIFE centers on Steve who, like all boys, dreams of having a perfect wedding. When Steve's girlfriend Catherine drops to her knee and proposes, Steve and his dad set out to plan the happiest day of his life. Shot through a colorful lens, this hilarious, role-reversal film subtly challenges gender roles and traditions with a sense of humor.

SIGN MY SNARLING MOVIE, a documentary about The Bobs, was co-directed by Maria Burton and Alex Stein. SIGN MY SNARLING MOVIE, chronicles the history of The Bobs, "The Beatles of the A Capella World," from their humble origins at the Western Onion Singing Telegram Company in San Francisco through their evolution as they gain an audience, get nominated for a Grammy, tour the world, and manage to thrive for 25 years with no major label support, no hit records, and no instruments. Featuring clips from The Bobs' 25th Anniversary Reunion Concerts in Berkeley, California in 2006, the DVD also features 45 minutes of bonus tracks not included in the theatrical version.
