About the project:
THAT'S MY FAMILY is an original, warm, grounded family comedy about a successful father raising three very different teenagers while sharing his home with his opinionated older brother and old-school father. The proof of concept introduces the family's rhythm through a contained morning that turns one missing container of Chinese food into a full household investigation.
