It's disheartening to me that I think that this is the type of film that does need to be seen nationwide.
Ever wondered how films tackle the heavy subject of addiction?

Joined by actors Brian O'Halloran and Sherilyn Fenn, they dive deep into the making of this impactful film.
Spencer shares his motivations for creating a movie that doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of addiction, while Brian and Sherilyn discuss their roles and personal connections to the topic. The conversation covers everything from the dynamics between characters to the importance of humor in addressing tough subjects.
One of the standout moments is when Tuna reflects on the broader need for awareness, saying, 'It's disheartening to me that I think that this is the type of film that does need to be seen nationwide'.
