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.
