The Family Circus

The whole audience was laughing out loud at this one! A teenage son has crashed into a dumpster and his parents and brother are trying to think of how to lie in reporting it because the teenager was driving drunk. It's Christmas and the police officer who takes the report has family problems of his own. The main family is Vietnamese American but I think most families of any background could identify with the themes of love and protection, and trying to balance that with discipline and teaching responsibility. The acting was very believable.

I saw this excellent short movie at the Manhattan Short Film Festival screening at our local library. I hope lots of people get to see this enjoyable movie.
