Desperate to land a dating app rebrand deal that could save his marketing company, Danny creates a profile for “research purposes” - not because he just went through a bad breakup! When he ends up finding a match in a free-spirited photographer named Madi, he reluctantly agrees to a date, launching a relationship that challenges him to become more vulnerable, reflective and accepting of his unique body. Writer/director Shane D. Stanger’s Good Bad Things crafts a moving narrative about self-acceptance in a candid, thoughtful way.
Winner, Grand Jury Award & Audience Award — Slamdance Film Festival
