Indie Film ‘A Good Enough Day’ Captivates Global Audience on Amazon Prime and Apple TV

Shot in Spokane, the film offers a poignant and award-winning production that delves into the dynamics of a dysfunctional family. Los Angeles-based actor Josh Wingate, who portrays a doctor and friend to the main character, explains the film’s relatability, saying, ‘I don’t have a perfect family and I have relationships that are unmended… I’m hoping that us crazy suffering artists can inspire that mending.’

A special screening of ‘A Good Enough Day’ took place at the Hamilton Studio in Spokane, where the film was originally shot. The emotional impact of the film was evident as the audience members wiped away tears and expressed their awe at the natural and moving performances.

Authenticity and Raw Emotion: The Unique Approach of ‘A Good Enough Day’

‘A Good Enough Day’ stands out for its authentic and unscripted feel. Much of the film’s dialogue was ad-libbed, giving it a raw and genuine quality. With a script only 24 pages long, the actors improvised key moments based on the biographies provided by the writers. This approach resulted in raw and genuine reactions that resonated with viewers.

One audience member praised the film, stating, ‘I love hearing how you did that because, I mean, it was hard to watch. Like life is.’ The seamless integration of improvised dialogue and carefully mapped character motivations left many viewers questioning whether they were watching a documentary or a fictional narrative.

A Family Endeavor: The Making of ‘A Good Enough Day’

‘A Good Enough Day’ was not only a creative endeavor but also a family affair. Trevor St. John, known for his roles in various movies and television series, not only stars in the film but also co-wrote and directed it. The production was born out of an idea proposed by St. John’s mother and stepfather, Lorna and Don Hamilton, who own the Hamilton Studio. St. John collaborated with his cousins Brett Clothier-Sharman and Graham Sharman to write the script, and the trio named their production company Loud Boys Productions as a nod to a childhood memory.
