Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s Meta Comedy Horror ‘Family Movie’ Draws Massive Laughs at SXSW Debut

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s Meta Comedy Horror ‘Family Movie’ Draws Massive Laughs at SXSW Debut
"Family Ties and Frights: Bacon Family's 'Family Movie' Brings Laughter and Horror to SXSW At the recent SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, the Bacon family - consisting of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, along with their kids, Sosie and Travis - took the stage with their latest meta comedy horror film, "Family Movie". This unique project saw the proud parents not only starring in the film but also co-directing it, making it a true family affair. The film's premiere on Friday the 13th was a fitting occasion, given Kevin Bacon's connection to the original "Friday the 13th" movie. As a self-proclaimed horror fan, Bacon joked that the movie was a perfect example of life imitating art, minus the, well, murder. The film follows a family filming an indie horror movie on a farm, which is eerily similar to the Bacon family's own experiences filming home videos on their own farm in New England. Shot outside of Austin, Texas, the low-budget film ( clocking in at just 1 hour and 21 minutes) came with its own set of challenges, including many nights of Domino's pizza for the cast and crew. However, the family is hopeful that "Family Movie" will strike a chord with audiences, just as it did at the Zach Theater in Austin. The film boasts an impressive cast, including John Carroll Lynch, Jackie Earle Haley, Liza Koshy, and Andrea Savage, among others. Koshy, who also filmed some of the movie's phone footage on her Google Pixel, joked that she feared for her life on set, given the film's eerie atmosphere. Travis Bacon, a talented musician in real life and in the film, also composed the score for "Family Movie", which is currently in search of a distributor. And, in a fun twist, be sure to stick around for the credits, where you can catch some hilarious home videos of the Bacon family themselves. With its unique blend of horror and comedy, "Family Movie" is a must-watch for fans of the genre. And, who knows, you might just catch a glimpse of the Bacon family's own farm-based shenanigans in the making."
