Almost twenty-five years after a missed opportunity to hang out with his hero Adam Sandler, David Seth Cohen's independent documentary 'Finding Sandler ' has been selected to premiere at the 20th annual Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ on March 26, 2022 at the iconic venue Asbury Lanes .
'Finding Sandler' is Cohen's quest to recapture what could have been. In 1998, while working on the smash hit 'Big Daddy,' Cohen passed up the chance to have a drink with Sandler, and after a vivid dream in 2006, decided to do something about it. Since then, Cohen has spent more than fifteen years trying to rewrite that moment with the comedic legend. Will the Sandman finally have that drink and give Cohen the closure he has been looking for? You'll have to see the film to find out.
