Director/Star James Morosini, Claudia Sulewski, Amy Landecker, and Patton Oswalt in Attendance for a Post-Film Q&A

Inspired by Writer/Director/Star James Morosini’s true life experience, I LOVE MY DAD follows Chuck (Patton Oswalt), an estranged father who desperately wants to reconnect with his depressive son, Franklin (Morosini). Blocked on social media and concerned for his son’s life, Chuck impersonates a waitress (Claudia Sulewski) online and starts checking in with Franklin. But things begin to spiral when Franklin falls for this imaginary girl and wants nothing more than to meet her in person, as Chuck has inadvertently catfished his own son.
