Family Movie is an indie horror-comedy directed by Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, starring the couple and their children Sosie and Travis Bacon. The meta-film follows a family making a low-budget movie that spirals into chaos. It premiered at SXSW after years of rejections and a collaborative, family-driven effort.
