I heard about this movie on NPR when they interviewed the director.
He wrote the script with his good friend Susan Burke who is a comedian in LA and is now sober.
It started by sharing stories of funny dumb things they had done when they were drunk. Hers topped his, in fact hers topped everyones.
They thought most films don't deal with the subject of substance abuse in a way that is funny, relatable and also a movie that you would want to see
