BOB TREVINO LIKES is inspired by a true friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon formed with a stranger while searching online for her father. Lily Trevino, who often plays the role of a caregiver to people like her father who should be taking care of her, yearns for a family connection after being abandoned by her mother as a child and then suddenly by her father in his twenties. Bob Trevino works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie’s cutting habit. The couple has endured a lot over the past decade, and Bob has struggled to put his wife first, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and his need for companionship, meaning, and connection—that is, until he receives an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger. Lily and Bob’s blossoming friendship becomes a vital source of connection and healing in their lives. Bob’s small act of fatherly kindness fills the family void in Lily’s life and could change her direction forever. In their own way, they must learn that they are worthy of extraordinary love, which manifests itself in small acts of kindness.
