Barry Jenkins’ terrific DIY feature Medicine for Melancholy won awards at the Sarasota, Woodstock, and San Francisco International film festivals and garnered three Spirit Award nominations. A.O.

M4M was picked up for distribution by IFC Films and was released theatrically last January (VOD and DVD releases followed).
