Chasing the Light

About This Movie

Chasing the Light is a raw dive into the chaotic life of Riggs, a screenwriter who just can't catch a break. The film captures a gritty, almost surreal atmosphere, blending comedy with darker undertones. You'll find moments of absurdity as he navigates through a haze of bad decisions and unstable relationships, all while grappling with his past. The pacing feels almost like a heartbeat—quick and erratic, reflecting Riggs’ mental state. The performances are quite real, especially as they channel that struggle between ambition and despair. Practical effects add a layer of authenticity, enhancing the film's overall tone. It’s distinctive in how it portrays the creative process, chaos, and the tangled web of human connections, not just a story about writing, but really about survival.
