Tiny House is a single camera dramedy centered on three siblings doing the best they can in life but coming up a little short. It feels like HBO's Togetherness meets Showtime's Happyish with a little Trailer Park Boys mixed in. Having not spoken to each other since their mother's death 9 years before, three misfit siblings return home to squabble over their last remaining inheritance – the family home. Despite their differences and deep-seated grudges, the dependency on the house they grew up in forces the siblings to become something they hadn’t even known they were missing... a family.

These are confusing times we're living in. It's important to teach our children that their backyard is all of Mother Earth, not just the concrete patio outside the backdoor of our one-bedroom apartment. Let’s inspire them to see that this is a planet worth taking care of. Investigating. Experiencing. Let’s inspire each other to remember why we are here. We want to throw ourselves into the fire and learn more about who we are, and who we aren’t. What we’re capable of. Let’s be the parents who didn’t go running right to predictable. Lets not live for a 401K. I don’t even know what a 401K is, but I do know this- “Life moves pretty fast, you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” You know who said that? Ferris Bueller. Lets go build an igloo and sleep in it.
