Daniel Barksdale’s The Family Reunion (The Documentary)
Starting in 2024, Daniel Barksdale and his team filmed two years of behind-the-scenes footage for his latest project, “The Family Reunion.” His goal was to highlight the triumphs and struggles involved in staging a production. However, he didn’t expect that during this two-year journey, they would encounter recovery challenges, an untimely death, and a shocking diagnosis as they worked to bring the project together. This documentary offers fans an intimate glimpse into the making of “The Family Reunion,” covering the two-year journey from the initial table read through rehearsals, photoshoots, and on-the-road performances. Daniel Barksdale is excited to share this two-year journey with fans as he offers a behind-the-scenes look at his most successful yet challenging production, “The Family Reunion.”
