Indie film shoots are filled with challenges, but writer-director Nora Fiffer was determined to make the set of her debut feature film, “Another Happy Day,” as family-friendly as possible.
After all, she wrote the comedic drama about postpartum depression and the challenges that come with becoming a parent. 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.
