Based on Evelyn’s real-life events, Our Family Pride tells the personal journey of a family that comes together through conflict and difficult times, amid finding out their father, Jaimie (Evelyn), is gay later in life.

Cutkosky will play Tim, a high-school bad boy who flirts with Jaimie’s daughter, and Roumel emerges as her popular best friend, Bri.
