We Are Close Family written and directed by Craig Thornton:

Cast Break Down: 1M (25-54), 2F (25-54)

Told in five scenes over eighteen years– not, however, in chronological order – WE’RE A CLOSE FAMILY explores themes of the lost father, familial and individual identity, and forgiveness and loss. A disturbing comedy that has momentum even when it’s going back in time, it often poses the question: is it really better to have a family if it’s this family?
