Every Brilliant Thing
Description
Every Brilliant Thing strikes a delicate balance between sobering loss and cathartic laughter. Adapting the one-character stage show of the same name starring British comedian Jonny Donahoe and written by Duncan Macmillan with Donahoe, this poignant film, shot in the round at the Barrow Street Theatre in New York City before a live, interactive audience, recounts a life lived, and loved, in the shadow of one parent's repeated attempts at suicide. The 52-minute special was directed and produced by the Emmy-winning filmmaking team of Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato.
