BOB TREVINO LIKES IT is inspired by the true friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon found with a stranger while searching for her father online. Often playing the role of caretaker to those like her father who should be looking out for her, Lily Trevino yearns for a family connection after being abandoned by her mother as a child and then suddenly by her father in her twenties. Bob Trevino works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie’s scrapbooking habit. The couple has suffered greatly over the past decade, and Bob has struggled to put his wife first, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and need for friendship, meaning, and connection—that is, until he receives an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger. Lily and Bob’s blossoming friendship becomes a significant source of connection and healing in their lives. Bob’s small acts of fatherly kindness fill the familial void in Lily’s life and have the power to change the course of her life forever. In their own way, they both must learn that they are worthy of extraordinary love embodied through small acts of kindness.
