Changed tense for premiere in "the film is set to premiere in 2022" to "was set to premiere...". Presumably further verification would be required to state with certainty that premiere actually took place back in 2022 - leaving it to somebody else (who would hopefully also update the rest of the article).

Production

[edit]

The drama film Breathing Happy was announced on April 16, 2021, when filming began around Tampa, Florida and Los Angeles, California.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, principal photography was moved from L.A. to Florida, where filming took place mainly in the childhood house of writer and director Shane Brady, located in Palm Harbor, Florida.[1] As a result, various locations in the screenplay were removed and the script was rewritten to model the house.[1]

In creating the film, Brady said that he "didn't want to tell a literal story of addiction, with a logical, linear flow because when it comes to drugs, nothing makes sense."[3] He also described his time as a magician, and how it helped him "tell this story in a way no one else could", and explained that the film was his "artistic interpretation of my family's struggles with addiction" as a "jumbled popcorn machine of emotions and points of view hopefully bringing about healing for other families struggling with addiction."[3]

During post-production, the film score was composed by Christopher Dudley from the American rock band Underoath.[2]

Release

[edit]

The film was set to premiere at the Chattanooga Film Festival in June 2022.[4]
