When a teenage boy visits his Gramps at a seemingly mundane boring assisted living facility, he comes to find that they have much more in common than he thought. "Wednesdays with Gramps" is a story about connection, communication, and commonality, without say a word.   Written and Directed by: Chris & Justin Copeland Produced by: Shabrayia B.
