Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick and their children Sosie Bacon and Travis Bacon may have made a “Family Movie,” but “it’s not a reality show.”

“What was cool from the very first read was that it wasn’t us. We didn’t want to play ourselves. There’s enough of us and of our family dynamics, but we’re not making a documentary about our lives,” says Kevin Bacon.

This may be for the best, as “Family Movie” – shown at Karlovy Vary – follows the Smiths: a loving family that makes much-derided, low-budget horror films. They’re in the middle of shooting another one when a real murder occurs.
