GET BETTER is a handmade feature film about a week in the life of Ellie and Roy Alexander—daughter and chronically ill father. “I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches.

It was made entirely with cash and in-kind contributions from friends and family. GET BETTER stars Marisa Viola as "Ellie," Robert Linder as "Roy," Monica Wyche as "Stu," Chris White as "Mike," and Lise Anzelone as "Jane." Cinematography by Alan Ray. Edited by Jeter Rhodes.
