ep354: Breathing Happy (2022) - special guests Shane Brady & Emily Zercher

Video Monsters

Nathan and Eric were thrilled to sit down with Writer/Director/Editor/Star, Shane Brady (DOCTOR SLEEP, BALLERS, THE ENDLESS), and Executive Producer, Emily Zercher, for a lengthy and surprisingly emotional chat about their film, BREATHING HAPPY, which recently had its world premiere at the 2022 Chattanooga Film Festival. The film is a hallucinatory, Christmas Carol-esque odyssey through the mind of a lonely, recovering drug addict on the verge of achieving one year of sobriety on Christmas Day. It’s a beautiful, heartfelt, hysterically funny flick that absolutely wowed us here at Video Monsters. And we were definitely not alone in our love because it also managed to snag Chatt Film Fest’s coveted Audience Award for Best Feature! So take a deep breath, grab a deck of cards, and if you hear a knock at the Golden Door, just tell that interrupting turtle to take a hike because you will be too busy listening to the Video Monsters’ analysis of BREATHING HAPPY with special guests Shane Brady and Emily Zercher!
