Addict Named Hal

When Amy is sent unwillingly to a halfway house by her mom, she thinks she is different from everyone else - until Hal, a heroin addict returning to the house from jail, convinces her to give recovery a try. But Amy soon learns that her drinking won’t just disappear, and she may have a bigger problem than she thought. This film explores the everyday struggles, joys, and horrors of getting clean.

ADDICT NAMED HAL is inspired by the real-life experiences of writer/director Lane Michael Stanley, who lived in a halfway house for drug and alcohol recovery for 6 months following the sudden death of their fiance in 2016. Lane’s clean date is April 20, 2016.
