JUNKIE
RT: 105 min (+15min for QA)
Junkie follows Stevie Chapman through 72 chaotic hours of trying to get it right, one more time. She’s run from rehab again, and this time she’s chasing something bigger than an escape, a chance to make things right with the son she’s spent years pushing away. Writer-director William Means doesn’t flinch from the mess of it. And Rocky Shay, a real-life recovering addict, brings Stevie to life with a rawness that feels less like acting and more like truth. Funny, heartbreaking, sometimes both in the same breath. Underneath the chaos, this is a story about a mother and son trying to find their way back to each other. About dignity. About how hope survives even when everything else falls apart.
Director Bio William Means (Junkie) (he/him) is a Los Angeles-based writer and director who earned his MFA in directing at the AFI Conservatory in 2021. Since AFI, William worked alongside cinematographer Lawrence Sher as well as director Patty Jenkins. His most recent short, “Blue Square Heart,” qualified for the 2024 Oscars®.
