Filmmaker Statement

''Sundays With Dad'' is a heartwarming comedy/drama starring the extraordinary George R. Hildebrand, who plays Ben, a widower who misses his wife Maggie, but finds solace in his weekly meetings with his actor son, Jason (played by the author the script and this statement). On this day, Ben reveals to Jason that he has hired a young woman from an escort service, not for sexual favors, but simply for companionship. He's not looking to replace the memory of his dear Maggie, but to experience something and someone beautiful one last time. The late great, playwright Neil Simon inspired me to write this script. ''Doc'' was the first playwright that I fell in love with and I've had the pleasure of appearing in several of his plays over the years. His plays and screenplays were always incredibly funny, but they could also hit you right in the heart. That's what I hope Sundays With Dad will do. We hope to deliver the laughs and the heart.
