Which 1995 independent film, written and directed by Edward Burns, won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance?

The 1995 independent film written and directed by Edward Burns that won Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize is The Brothers McMullen.

The film is a low-budget family drama about three Irish-American brothers in New York confronting love, marriage, faith, infidelity, and the expectations inherited from their parents. Edward Burns wrote, directed, and starred in the film, playing Barry McMullen alongside Jack Mulcahy and Mike McGlone as the other brothers.

Burns made the project with limited resources, including filming much of it in and around his family’s home. Its Sundance success transformed the movie from a small personal production into a major independent-film discovery. After winning the 1995 Grand Jury Prize, it secured distribution and earned substantially more than its modest budget.

The listed alternatives are films associated with Edward Burns but do not fit the clue. She’s the One was his later 1996 film, while Sidewalks of New York arrived in 2001. Two if by Sea was released in 1996 and was directed by Bill Bennett, so none is an equally defensible answer.
