VIRTUAL CINEMA EVENT SHOWTIMES BEGIN MAY 24
Informed that his son, Benny, has recovered from schizophrenia, Ben Whitmore Sr. travels to Middlemouth Security Hospital to bring Benny home, only to discover he’s nowhere to be found.
This is the storyline of Let Me Have My Son (formerly titled The Puzzle Factory), a semi-autobiographical, emotion-laden tale of a father coming to grips with his son’s devastating mental illness. The topic could not be timelier; the National Institute of Mental Health reports that fully 1 out of 5 of our nation’s children now suffer from debilitating mental disorders.
Let Me Have My Son is based on the true story of the writer-director’s compelling journey with his firstborn son, Daniel, as told in the book of the same title. Principal photography for this feature film has been completed and post-production is well underway. Release of Let Me Have My Son is scheduled for late summer/early fall 2022.
