About the Project
Greg was once a best selling author, who turned down a lucrative Hollywood deal so as to keep his artistic ethic. A few years later, Greg is now broke, divorced and struggling to make ends meet driving for Uber. Right when economic ruin look emanate, he receives an email from his half-sister, Pam, asking to stay with him for a few days while she interviews at a very prestigious law film in LA. Greg is reluctant to say yes because Pam has an amazing relationship with their father, a man who abandoned Greg and his mother a lifetime ago. But since Pam is willing to pay for her stay, Greg has little choice but to say yes.
The two get along like oil and water. She’s hyper motivated by capitalism and he’s excited by classic books she hasn’t heard of. Though it doesn’t take long to discover that both of them are stuck in their lives and have made some poor decisions. The worst being they’ve build dense emotional walls to shut people out. Now, as the two wallow in their lives, those walls begin to crack and eventually crumble.
MY DAD’S KID is the story of second chances, untraditional family, and choosing to heal rather than harm. It’s the story of family – the kind you can’t stand, but would never want to live without.
