Family is produced by BB Production headed by Gospel musician, Bright Nana Brown and according to him,“this movie is just one of the media through which I want to use to correct this very disturbing situation in our current dispensation.

“Today, parents are oblivious of the immediate emotional needs of their children as well as external influences on them and are mostly preoccupied with putting food on the table. No wonder crime and social vices are rife these days” he said.
Family is not Bright’s first foray in the movie making space. He usually loves to groom talent thus often featuring up and coming actors.
“Working with people in their developing stages has always been my thing. It takes a lot of courage to be able to take some of these decisions because you need to take time to train and groom them.
“Though it’s always a lot of work, I’m excited to be part of their growth process because it’s one of the major reasons why I took on this challenge in the first place,” he stated
