Before I Disappear (2014)

In the throes of personal despair, Richie, a pill-popping pariah teetering on the edge of self-destruction, finds his life unexpectedly intertwined with his young, precocious niece, Sophia. The sudden call from his estranged sister, Maggie, amidst her own tragic breakdown, throws Richie off his intended path of self-annihilation, pressing him into the unfamiliar role of an overnight guardian. Navigating the pulsating veins of New York City's nightlife, Richie and Sophia embark on an exhilarating, heartrending odyssey of discovery and connection. Unlikely bonds are formed in the most unexpected corners of the chaotic metropolis as the two traverse through an array of unsuitable locales, their journey illuminated by the city's unforgiving neon glow. In this drama, that echoes the poignancy of an Oscar-winning short, a whirlwind adventure unfolds against the backdrop of Manhattan's after-hours. Despite their vast differences, their shared journey offers them a fragile chance at redemption and the possibility of a clean slate. But can they seize it before Richie's demons pull him back into the shadows, causing him to disappear forever?
