ABOUT "TONY"
This independently produced film short was written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Grant Heslov for The Responsibility Project and demonstrates the power of working together to accomplish a single goal.

In "TONY," actor Tate Donovan gets help from an unlikely cast of characters to find his son's teddy bear left behind on a family trip. What starts as a lone journey becomes a treasure hunt for a small group of helpers - who have little in common - but who make it their personal responsibility to find the missing item.

"TONY" was produced by Smoke House Pictures, which is co-owned by Heslov and George Clooney. The film runs 13 minutes and two seconds.

ABOUT "FATHER'S DAY"
We all have a certain amount of baggage from our past. "FATHER'S DAY" follows main character, Helen, on her journey to forgiveness. Throughout the film, she must contend with an issue troubling her since childhood - dealing with a father who abandoned her family. This issue comes to light as she deals with a troubled relationship with her daughter's father.

"FATHER'S DAY" was written and directed by Laurence Dunmore and produced by RSA Films. The film short runs 11 minutes and two seconds.
