CHICAGO – Filmmaker Haroula Rose will have a Chicagoland homecoming with her recently released film “All Happy Families” as she appears at a special screening at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre on October 7th, 2024 (6:30p). The 4.5/5 film (review below) was filmed all in Chicago, and was directed and co-written (with Coburn Goss, who will also appear) by Rose. For tickets and more information, click ALL HAPPY FAM.

Josh Radnor of “How I Met Your Mother” is Graham, a dejected writer/actor who manages the Landry family two flat in Chicago … his brother Will (Rob Huebel) owns it and has a successful TV show in Los Angeles. When the building needs a new tenant, Graham re-connects with interested party Dana (Chandra Russell) who he used to have a crush on in college. When Will shows up unexpectedly, and their parents (John Ashton and Becky Ann Baker) are also in for a visit, three situational bombshells are about to throw everyone into, as author Leo Tolstoy once said, an “unhappy in their own way” status.
