“Good Side of Bad tells the story of a young photographer who, after suffering a severe mental break, regains her footing after her siblings come together to help her heal,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “Three adult siblings are brought back together after a shocking diagnosis forces them to confront harsh future realities regarding the mental state of one of their own. A raw and intimate look into what it means to be a family navigating the waters of mental illness, the Good Side of Bad film dives into humanity’s dark places while illuminating the love, laughter, and light discovered when reconnecting with those close loved ones. Based on the bestselling book The Good Side of Bad, the movie is a raw family drama that touches on the shared human experience of disconnectedness, and how connecting to each other is ultimately the best way to help one another.”

Good Side of Bad is directed by Alethea Root, and it is based on a script written by Ciera Danielle, Jules Bruff, and Root. The film stars Lexi Simonsen, Jules Bruff, Alex Quijano, Myles Grier, Emmy Award-winning Kim Estes, and Oscar-nominated and SAG Award-winning Tess Harper.

“My vision as the director of Good Side of Bad is to shed light on how coming together in a crisis can motivate growth within an entire family,” said filmmaker Alethea Root of the movie. “Mental illness can be complicated, mysterious, dark, and scary. I’ve witnessed the destruction it can wreak upon an individual and their family. Friends and family have also shared their real-world experiences with me, which has helped me bring forth a truthful and powerful depiction of schizophrenia on screen.”
