Behind the Scenes:
A junior thesis film created at Chapman University, used a Kickstarter Campaign to secure additional funding. Spare the Kid and Don't Tell My Mom are meant to serve as companion pieces: one is a father-son drama, the other a mother-son comedy, each with different styles but a similar message.
