SOFO TV™ is SOWAL Foundation’s public programming channel, where we premiere and archive original work produced for audiences across the Suncoast region, including Florida communities and the broader chapter footprint.
We believe filmmakers need more than resources to create. They need a real platform to screen and air what they’ve made. SOFO TV™ exists to close that loop: funding, community, and a reliable place for premieres and public viewing.

-

YOU TOO BRO (Trailer)
a film by Alejandro Soberon & Yaqub Battle
in partnership with SOWAL Foundation
About the film
You Too Bro is a film about modern dating, bad timing, and the strange courage it takes to risk looking foolish in front of another person.
Told through intersecting lives, sharp conversations, and stylized interview cutaways, the film follows six people circling the same question from different places in life. An old man who has already loved and lost. Two young men who get stood up on the same night. Two roommates trying to talk themselves out of fear before they talk themselves out of living.
The film moves with dry humor and emotional tension, finding meaning in the kind of moments people usually try to laugh off. A bad date. A missed text. A couch you have been sitting on too long. A stranger who understands more than he should.
Rather than offering a conventional resolution, You Too Bro suggests that the right time to love rarely announces itself. Most of the time, you only recognize it later, when the moment has already become a memory.
