The drama film
Breathing Happy
was announced on April 16, 2021, when filming began around
Tampa, Florida
and
Los Angeles, California
.
[2]
Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
,
principal photography
was moved from L.A. to Florida, where filming took place mainly in the childhood house of writer and director Shane Brady, located in
Palm Harbor, Florida
.
[1]
As a result, various locations in the screenplay were removed and the script was rewritten to model the house.
[1]
In creating the film, Brady said that he "didn't want to tell a literal story of addiction, with a logical, linear flow because when it comes to drugs, nothing makes sense."
[3]
He also described his time as a magician, and how it helped him "tell this story in a way no one else could", and explained that the film was his "artistic interpretation of my family's struggles with addiction" as a "jumbled popcorn machine of emotions and points of view hopefully bringing about healing for other families struggling with addiction."
[3]
During post-production, the
film score
was composed by Christopher Dudley from the American rock band
Underoath
.
[2]
Release
[

The film was set to premiere at the
Chattanooga Film Festival
in June 2022.
