Humor Me is Sam Hoffman's directorial debut, inspired by his website Old Jews Telling Jokes, which also sparked an off-Broadway play, a bestselling book and a lecture series. In this poignant comedy, an adult son who is slowly drifting towards rock bottom reconnects with his joke-loving dad. (Los Angeles Film Festival)
