Abstract

Business as Usual is a short documentary that follows three brothers who run a family carpentry business as a tribute to their late father, Roger. When Roger passed away in 2014, his three sons, Morgan, Lincoln and Ryan, left their own ambitions and took over his business. In the documentary, the brothers speak to Roger as he recounts good memories and regrets, reflecting on how the interactions with their father respectively shaped their individual decisions to take over the family business. Business as Usual explores the concept of filial piety, a virtue of caring for one’s parents out of true devotion and love.
