Dramedy Feature Launches on North American VOD Platforms starting February 6, 2026
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the dramedy feature GOOD GRIEF, which is now available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms starting on February 6, 2026.
After the loss of her mother, filmmaker Emily Rued was inspired to tell a story drawn from her own experience, capturing the bewilderment, isolation, and unexpected humor that can follow the death of a loved one. GOOD GRIEF tells the story of Amy, a tightly wound L.A. artist whose world begins to crumble when her mother is suddenly hospitalized. Torn between a high-stakes art show and her need to be by her mom’s side, she spirals into anxiety, self-doubt, and substance-fueled codependency with her charming but self-destructive boyfriend. When tragedy strikes, Amy returns to her small hometown, where grief, unresolved family issues, and a parade of eccentric characters force her to confront who she has become and who she wants to be. Blending biting humor with raw emotional insight, GOOD GRIEF is a coming-of-adulthood tale about the messiness of loss, the absurdity of family, and the unexpected moments that help us heal.
Written by Emily Rued and directed by Jaclyn Bethany, GOOD GRIEF was produced by Rued, Rebecca Morandi, and Jennifer Sherer. GOOD GRIEF features performances by Emily Rued (‘Amy Murphy’), Johnny Whitworth (‘Cody Stevens’), Brynn Thayer (‘Lynn’), Steven Culp (‘Harry’), Ray Wise (‘Dr. Gariboldi’) and Jorge Garcia (‘Drew’).
“Society does very little to prepare us for profound loss,” said filmmaker Emily Rued, “Even though it’s something we will all experience. I hope that by sharing some of my story and perspective, someone else might feel a little less alone in their time of need.”
Freestyle Digital Media acquired GOOD GRIEF in a deal negotiated by Conduit Now with executive producers Kirk Roos and Roger Lindley, and the filmmakers.
