Bob Trevino Likes It | Multi-Award-Winning Drama Available On Digital Platforms Now!

Vertigo Releasing is excited to announce that the multi-award-winning heartwarming drama BOB TREVINO LIKES IT will be available on digital platforms from 26th May.

Featuring a standout cast including Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), John Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge!) & French Stewart (3rd Rock from the Sun), the film has received critical acclaim as well as winning 13 audience awards, including SXSW’s best Narrative Feature.

BOB TREVINO LIKES IT is inspired by the true friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon (Matched) found with a stranger when looking for her father online.

Often playing the role of caretaker to people like her father who should be caring for her, Lily Trevino longs for a familial connection, having been abandoned by her mother as a child and then suddenly by her father in her twenties.

Bob Trevino works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie’s scrapbooking habit. The couple has endured a lot in the past decade, and Bob has sought to put his wife first, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and need for friendship, meaning, and connection. That is, until he gets an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger.

Lily and Bob’s blossoming friendship becomes a vital source of connection and healing in both their lives. Bob’s small acts of fatherly kindness fill a familial void in Lily’s life and hold the power to change her direction forever. In their own ways, these two must both learn they are worthy of extraordinary love exemplified through small acts of kindness.

Speaking on her connection to the film writer/director Tracie Laymon said “…I often hear the statement “everyone has a father” regarding why this film matters and is so universal. I take that further by saying: “Everyone needs a Bob.” Having someone in our lives who shows us empathy and vulnerability should be normal. But when you don’t grow up with that, like I didn’t, and like Lily didn’t, it can seem like a pipe dream. It’s easy to see Lily was asking her father for so little. When she finally gets it from a new friend, it feels huge, even though in a way, it’s baseline. There’s beauty and poignant humor in that! The end of this film is her beginning… just like it was mine.”
