“Do you think he would like the person you are now… or not?” Gravitas Ventures has released an official trailer for Better days, an independent comedy about grief and self-discovery. This film recently premiered at the Cinéfest Sudbury Film Festival in Canada and is set to debut on VOD in December. Not to be confused with the acclaimed 2019 Chinese film, also titled Better days. After her husband dies, a woman starts doing what she wants and starts wearing her husband’s Halloween costumes. When her children order her to become herself again, she must decide whose happiness matters most in a delicious comedy about starting over and discovering yourself before it’s too late. The movie stars Sonja Smits as Kate in the lead role, with Alix Sideris, Sarah Never, Gregory Calderone, Blair Williams, Dean Armstrong, Sugenja SriAnd Luc François. This sounds like a great story about rejecting old traditions and accepting yourself.
