Is the Future of Movie Sets an Eight-Hour Work Day With Childcare? This Indie Director Made it Happen on a Tight Budget
Writer-director Nora Fiffer was determined to make the set of her debut feature film, "Another Happy Day," as family-friendly as possible.
In the film, now on VOD from Gravitas Ventures, a new mom ( Lauren Lapkus) navigates many of those complex emotions: Feelings of isolation, not connecting with friends in the same way, a partner that doesn’t understand her exact needs, how relationships with work and creativity change, the exhaustion that goes deeper than simply being tired. Even though these are universal feelings for millions of women, they’re rarely shown in such a raw and unflinching way on screen, which is why Fiffer felt she needed to make the film. Ultimately, Fiffer believes that moving away from the churn that leads to long stretches of 12-hour-plus days can still produce great films, and makes the industry more appealing to parents who have a lot to contribute.
