Survive Your Parents

A short comedy from Small Wonders Films about family, adulthood, and the absurd emotional gymnastics of dealing with the people who raised you.

How To: Survive Your Parents was the first project from Small Wonders Films, created by Dave Kagno and Richard Mueller.

Built around the impossible comedy of family dynamics, the film turns parental pressure, adult frustration, and emotional survival into a playful, character-driven short.

 

Originally promoted through Facebook and YouTube, this page preserves the project as part of the Small Wonders archive.

Richard Mueller has always been full of joy.

A native Californian, Rich now lives with his husband and computer under the majestic redwoods of Sonoma County, fueled by a deep love of doughnuts; he transmutes ideas from the ether into our realm on time and under budget.
