Richard Davis Movie Poster.png

A successful suburban husband quietly battles depression as his daughter prepares to leave home-forcing him to confront the painful truth that a perfect life does not guarantee happiness.

Director's Statement

This film was born from the recognition that some of the most severe emotional suffering exists in places we least expect it. I wanted to explore how depression can live quietly inside love, stability, and success, and how dangerous our assumptions about happiness can be. My hope is that audiences leave the film not with answers, but with a renewed impulse to ask better questions of the people they love
