“Friends of the Family: The Chaotic Three” is a comedy scenario which finds its humour in time-crunched debates and scenestealing actors. During the scenario, our five protagonists will have to work together to write three episodes of the famous sitcom “Friends of the Family”.
The episodes are produced directly after being written and are of course shot in the one-take format. Meaning that every disagreement will either be aired or has to be taken between the actors after shooting. Every player will be playing an actor who then has their own role they play on the show.
