I LOVE MY DAD

Celebrating its National release at SUFF, I LOVE MY DAD is based on writer, director, and star James Morosini’s true life experience.

Blocked on all communication channels and concerned for his sons life, Chuck impersonates a waitress online and starts messaging with Franklin. As things spiral and Franklin starts to fall for the girl on the other side of the screen, Chuck has inadvertadly started to catfish his own son – whoops!

ON THE COUNT OF THREE

Director: Jerrod Carmichael
Origin: Canada (2021)

This film is not only responsible for Papa Roach being stuck in my head for days in end, its also responsible for igniting some profound thoughts about friendship and suicide. Jerrod Carmichael makes his directorial debut and stars in ON THE COUNT OF THREE, a darkly comic feature about two best friends, Val (Carmichael) and Kevin (Christopher Abbott), on the last day of their lives.
