Papi Chulo is the latest comedy-drama feature from John Butler (The Stag, Handsome Devil)
After a newly-single TV weatherman is put on leave following an on-air meltdown, he directs his energy into home improvement and hires a middle-aged Latino day laborer named Ernesto to help. Despite a language barrier and having nothing in common, the two men develop an unexpected but profound friendship.
Shot in LA and starring Matt Bomer and Alejandro Patino, the film was cut in windmill by John O’Connor, mixed by Mark Henry and graded by Matt Branton.
It premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival
