May I Be Frank
With Post-Screening Q&A: Where is Frank Now?
Retrospective

An amazing true story of personal transformation captured on film. Addicted to drugs and morbidly obese, Frank Ferrante is a 54-year-old 290-pound Sicilian-American from Brooklyn with Hepatitis C on the look-out for a quick fix. He hands his life over to the twenty-something owners of Café Gratitude, a raw-vegan restaurant in San Francisco, who commit to helping him change his ways over the course of 42 days, and in the process giving him a second chance at finding love, fulfillment and happiness. May I Be Frank is a heartwarming story of redemption through sex, drugs and a miraculous mind-body-and-spirit transformation.
