Trailer and Poster for Dramedy THE YEAR BETWEEN Tells a Funny and Honest Story of a Person With Bipolar Disorder
A new poster and trailer have been released for the dramedy The Year Between, which tells the story of a young woman with bipolar disorder from a funny and honest perspective. The film is the feature directorial debut of comedian and filmmaker Alex Heller, who wrote the script based on her own personal experiences with mental health struggles.
The film stars J. Smith-Cameron, Steve Buscemi, Wyatt Oleff, Emily Robinson, Kyanna Simone, Rajeev Jacob, and Waltrudis Buck.
Here’s the full synopsis:
"Forced to return home from college after her erratic behavior alienates everyone around her (namely her amusingly panicked roommate), Clemence begrudgingly begins an undesired new chapter in the suburbs, hell-bent on defying her Mom (J. Smith-Cameron), Dad (Steve Buscemi), younger siblings, therapist—and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. But as the realization of her situation begins to set in, Clemence pushes herself to maintain a strict medication schedule, find a job and also show up to her appointments, all whilst maintaining a bitingly quick intellect and antagonizing, razor-sharp wit that keeps everyone around her on their toes."
The film premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival last year to great reviews. This looks like the kind of movie that will get audiences laughing and relating to its characters while teaching us something valuable about this particular mental health struggle.
Check out the trailer and poster for the film below, and watch The Year Between, available on VOD on March 3rd.
