Today I went to a press screening at the LA Film Festival of The Bachelors, a sweet, touching film about a father and his high school aged son starting over after the untimely death of his wife. This emotional film, starring J.K. Simmons, Julie Delpy and the wonderful Josh Wiggins as the son, was capably directed and written by Kurt Voelker. It just opened in theaters, you can see other fine films and events at the LA Film Festival which runs through June 22. For more information visit filmindependent.org.
