    Storyline

    Edit
    Spiraling into a mid-life crisis and feeling disconnected from his family, reality-TV editor Ben Marcus thinks he can only be happy by fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional comedian. He posts his stand-up routines to YouTube, and the videos fall flat. Then his tween son posts Ben miserably failing on a house-improvement project, and much to his teenage daughter's dismay, it goes viral, launching Ben's social-media career as Selfie Dad. Although he quickly becomes an award-winning phenom, no amount of success brings Ben satisfaction. Through his friendship with young coworker Mickey, Ben finds the secret to a happy family--with his Bible in one hand, and his phone in the other. —130 Agency
