A Fonder Heart

A Fonder Heart is an upcoming film directed by Jim Fitzpatrick which loosely follows the plot of Joey Boone, a 15 year-old boy, who shares his hospitalisation time with self-made multimillionaire Craig Thomas. The inspiration of the film is based around the true story of Jim Fitzpatrick's childhood friend known only as Joey Boone, who died of bone cancer in 1974. A Fonder Heart is based on a true story about Joey Boone, 15 year-old boy, and Craig Thomas, 59 year-old self-made multimillionaire developer. Joey and Craig became hospital roommates in 1974. Joey believes that he is simply being looked at for a minimal knee surgery due to a basketball injury, while Craig fears the worst...that life and old age have finally caught-up with him,...
