Dan Levy’s First Directorial Feature Film ‘Good Grief’ Lines Up All-Star Cast

Four-time Emmy-winner Dan Levy makes his directorial film debut with Good Grief, which he also wrote and will star in alongside Ruth Negga ( Passing, Loving ), Himesh Patel ( Station Eleven, Yesterday ), Luke Evans ( Echo 3, Beauty and the Beast ), Celia Imrie ( Better Things, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ), Arnaud Valois ( BPM (Beats Per Minute), Spring Blossom), David Bradley ( Harry Potter, Game of Thrones ) and Jamael Westman ( Hamilton, The Essex Serpent ) for Netflix.

The film follows Marc Dreyfus as he chose to distract himself from the loss of his mom with a comfortable marriage. But when his husband also dies, unexpectedly, Marc is forced to finally confront the grief he’s tried so hard to avoid, sending him and his two closest friends on a Parisian weekend of self-discovery.

Dan Levy said, “ Good Grief is a cautionary tale about friendship and loss and all the mess that comes with it when the truth is something you’ve evaded for most of your life. It’s funny, it’s bittersweet, it’s a project that has helped me work through my own grief. And I hope it does the same for other people as well.”

Not A Real Production Company’s Dan Levy, Megan Zehmer; Sister’s Stacey Snider, Kate Fenske, and Debra Hayward are producers of the film.

Good Grief marks the first project under Levy’s Not A Real Production Company and Netflix’s creative partnership
