I Love My Dad: Exclusive Interview with James Morosini and Claudia Sulewski

After falling in love with I Love My Dad back at SXSW Film Festival in March, the theatrical release is finally upon us! How could we pass up a chance to chat with two of the film’s leads, James Morosini and Claudia Sulewski? We talk one of the craziest catfishing stories of all time, cringe-comedy inspirations, favorite sequences to film, and character motivations in one of our breeziest interviews to date!

Written and directed by lead star James Morosini, I Love My Dad is multifaceted in its approach to laugh-out-loud comedy and touching drama. I could barely fathom how deeply personal and realistic it feels; it makes perfect sense then that I Love My Dad is inspired by Morosini’s actual experiences. One can only guess how deeply it must cut, or how cathartic it must have felt to spill his truth in such deep brushstrokes. After introvert Franklin (Morosini) blocks his father Chuck (comedian Patton Oswalt) on social media, Chuck gets desperate. Using the photos and personality of cute waitress Becca (Sulewski) from a local diner, Chuck creates a fake profile, and friend requests Franklin from it. What follows is a scenario that only gets more complicated in each passing moment, with every flirtatious text signaling that Chuck might be taking things too far. But how far is too far when you’re already catfishing your own child?

James and Claudia were both lovely and inviting—we cannot wait to see where their careers go next!

Written portion of the interview is coming soon!
