The Year Between
Everyone’s worried about Clemence: a roommate, parents who didn’t expect her to return home, but rather to the basement – a place for those who failed to make the leap into adulthood. Clemence, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, cannot cope with a normal life. But she’s not giving up yet.
“Succession” star J. Smith-Cameron and Steve Buscemi are among the notables who signed on for “The Year Between,” a drama about mental illness that marks the feature writing and directing debut of comedian Alex Heller. The movie, which wrapped production in Chicago late last month, revolves around Heller’s character Clemence, a young woman who drops out of college in her sophomore year after being diagnosed with mental illness. The story is based on Heller’s real-life experience in 2012. Heller is a former Sundance Institute Feature Film program fellow and an alumnus of Tribeca Film Institute.
