A local arthouse feature film by Nick Verdi at E-Media. 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 is a real-time descent to rock bottom 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 you’re inside the scene. It absolutely aches to watch, and it will make you re-evaluate your relationship with beer.
