A local arthouse feature film by Nick Verdi at CitySpace. As his relationship and family structure falls apart, Ben struggles to connect with anyone in his life while spiraling into alcoholism and isolation. Don’t Let It Bring You Down follows Ben’s descent to rock bottom and is reminiscent of work by John Cassavetes and Mike Leigh. Shot on virtually no budget, this unflinching film boasts excellent performances and cinematography that makes you feel that you’re inside the scene.
