Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it's a little more complicated: he's yet to tell his family or friends he's gay and he doesn't actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Dawson's Creek, Brothers & Sisters), written by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger (This is Us), and based on Becky Albertalli's acclaimed novel, Love, Simon is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story about the thrilling ride of finding yourself and falling in love.
Bleachers released their second album on RCA Records and Sony Music Entertainment Australia entitled GONE NOW on June 2nd, 2017. The first single -Don't Take The Money' hit #3 at Alternative Radio in the U.S. Ahead of the album release, The New York Times put out a piece that called Bleachers' new music 'anthemic life-affirming pop-rock".
