Comments
We are now accepting submissions for the Caucasian Doppleganger family. This means, the Caucasian supporting roles are representing the Caucasian version of the Korean family within the Script, so hair and physical/facial features will be Westernized (e.g Blonde, Blue eyes), but height, age and physical size would be similar to that of our Asian roles.
Storyline
(Logline) Mr. and Mrs. Smith have done everything they can to whitewash themselves and hide their Korean heritage from their 11-year-old son Bradley, but when a mysterious family appears one night, their secret is threatened.

(Synopsis) Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith have done everything they can to hide their Korean heritage from their 11-year-old son Bradley, who has grown up eating meatloaf, wearing shoes in the house, and getting mediocre grades. When a Doppleganger White family wearing traditional Korean clothing appears at their door, Bradley starts to question his identity, and the illusion built by his parents begins to crumble.
