Father-Son Film Club

My friend Amy Rodrigue turned me onto this story today about a man who lets his 16 year old son drop out of school on the condition that the kid watch 3 movies a week with his father. It's a really sweet story that illustrates an amazing ability of film to shape this young person's life and to bring a parent and child closer together. I know it sounds kinda schmaltzy and to be honest it is, but still as someone who works in film and sees layoffs and the encroaching dominance of other arts its an encouraging and powerful story.
