Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America is a 2003 American anthology horror film written and directed by Douglas Buck. It comprises three short films, the first being Buck's student film Cutting Moments, along with two subsequent shorts, Home and Prologue. Buck referred to the film as a "Suburban Holocaust" trilogy.
The segments of Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America were shot over the course of several years: Cutting Room was completed in 1996, Home was completed in 1997, and Prologue was completed in 2002. The three short films were compiled by Buck in 2003, with the anthology premiering at the Oldenburg International Film Festival in September of that year. The film received a limited theatrical release, screening at independent theaters in Montreal and New York City in late 2004 before being released on DVD in February 2006. Severin Films issued a Blu-ray edition in January 2021.
