Premiering in Narrative Feature Competition on March 9th, Laymon’s dramedy follows a people-pleasing young woman (Barbie Ferreira) who sends her estranged and curmudgeonly father (French Stewart) a Facebook friend request, only to unwittingly befriend a grieving man with the same name (John Leguizamo). A Texas native, Laymon spent some of her formative teen years in Russia before returning to the States for college, where she began directing short films. A member of the LGBTQIA community and a passionate advocate for disability representation on screen, Laymon frequently explores themes of identity and belonging in her work.
