Northwest Film Forum Signature Short Recipient and Portland native Matt McCormick’s debut feature Some Days are Better Than Others is a poetic, character-driven film featuring Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney) and James Mercer (The Shins and Broken Bells) that asks why the good times slip by so fast while the hard times always seem so sticky. Some Days are Better Than Others is a sad valentine to the forgotten discards of a throwaway society, and a story about knowing when to hold on, and when to let go. Screens with It Was A Crushing Defeat.
"You might never see a film with more indie rock cred than this...[McCormick's] view of Portland—its interconnected organism of individuals, but also its bridges, its skies, and its thrift stores—is appealingly dreamy." —The Stranger
"An excellently scripted, beautifully shot, and surprisingly well acted movie about restless maturation that shouldn’t be missed." —Chris Estey, KEXP blog
