Todd is a man struggling under the weight of life. He's searching for help. Guidance, even. So he turns to a fortune teller.

On the face of it Sundays with Dad  sounds almost ridiculous. A rare and potentially extreme scenario. In reality, however, this couldn't be further from the truth. Approaching the perils of growing old with compassion and respect, this charming short film has a surprisingly relatable feel. After all, loneliness is something we all face. Ben's love of The Rockford Files  also helps. You might even begin to wonder how often this type of scenario plays out in the real world -  The Rockford Fil...
