Summary
A pushy, narcissistic filmmaker persuades a Phoenix family to let he and his crew film their everyday lives, in the manner of the ground-breaking PBS series "An American Family". However, instead of remaining unobtrusive and letting the family be themselves, he can't help himself from trying to control every facet of their lives "for the good of the show".
