The Walking Dead’s Katelyn Nacon to star in mind-bending drama Breathing Happy

May 11, 2021 by Gary Collinson

The Walking Dead actress Katelyn Nacon is set to star in the feature film Breathing Happy, which is written and directed by Shane Brady (Ballers) and also stars John D’Aquino (Cory in the House), Augie Duke (Bad Kids Go To Hell), June Carryl (Shameless), and NHL Hall of Famer Phil Esposito.


Breathing Happy follows Dylan, a recovering drug addict on the eve of his one year sober-anniversary, which happens to be Christmas Eve. He spends the holiday alone having lost friends and family to his addictions and his inability to take responsibility for his actions. But just as he’s about to reach his goal of one full year being sober, his past demons show up, tempting him to fail.

“I didn’t want to tell a literal story of addiction, with a logical, linear flow because when it comes to drugs, nothing makes sense. No path is clear. I’m also a magician, so I knew I could tell this story in a way no one else could, or ever has before. No one is going to watch a movie because it’s a vanity piece. You must have a genuine, realistic connection to the story,” states writer- director Shane Brady. “This film is my artistic interpretation of my family’s struggles with addiction, both those who used, and those who suffered while trying to help. A jumbled popcorn machine of emotions and points of view hopefully bringing about healing for other families struggling with addiction.”

Breathing Happy is executive produced by Emily Zercher and Jamie Parslow and also stars Jim O’Heir, Aaron Moorhead, Justin Benson, and Sarah Bolger. Chris Dudley from American rock band Underoath is scoring.
