DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

When I set out to make GOOD BAD THINGS, I had quite a simple goal: direct my first feature film with my childhood best friend Danny Kurtzman as the lead actor. Our relationship is unique enough that we knew we had a story to tell in a way only we could. Through Danny’s perspective, we explore love, friendship, finding the courage to take risks, and the impact of perception on our realities. We saw an opportunity to shed light on an aspect of living with a disability that is too seldom portrayed in the media: ordinary life. Danny’s journey speaks to the heart of what it means to be human, and I know all audiences will see themselves in him.
