“Relationship woes and career crises converge in this sweet story about a millennial would-be writer who moves in with his open-hearted – and often very-direct – grandparents. As the colorful characters resist and reconcile their own intergenerational dynamics and stage in life, @bookendsmovie opens its arms to become the cinematic equivalent of a warm hug.” –@nickmccarthys (Director of Programming)⁠
