For Pete’s Sake is a coming-of-age drama about a boy (LEE) who struggles to defeat his father in an arm wrestling match as he grows up. But when LEE finally achieves victory over his father, he realizes the bittersweet reality of his father’s dismissing strength. Moreover, This is a story that's based on real life events. The original story is written by Thomas Brodkin, who wrote the story based on his memory with his dad. I saw the story on an online writers' forum called Reedsy and I reached out to him for the permssion to adapt it to a short film. View the final film here: https://t.ly/6sXfY
