Goodbye Too Soon is an upcoming independent drama film based on the award winning book Goodbye Too Soon by Canadian author Randi-Lee Bowslaugh and brings this deeply personal story from the page to the screen.

The film follows Randi after losing her brother to a drug overdose. Goodbye Too Soon explores the connection between grief and addiction, the pain of losing someone before you're ready, and the struggle of keeping a family from falling apart. It looks at the messy, real, and sometimes uncomfortable side of grief, without pretending that healing is simple or linear.

Why This Story Matters

Loss doesn't affect everyone the same way.

Some people talk about it. Some shut down. Some turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Some turn to substances to numb the pain. And some simply try to keep going while carrying a grief that nobody else can see.

Our goal is to create a film that audiences can connect with, a story that makes someone feel less alone and reminds people that there is no "right" way to grieve.

Help Us Make the Movie

Your support will help cover the many costs involved in producing a movie, including equipment, locations, cast and crew, production expenses, post-production, and getting the final film in front of audiences through festivals and other opportunities.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps.

If you can't donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as valuable. You never know who in your network may connect with this story or know someone who needs to hear it.

Thank you for believing in this project, supporting independent filmmaking, and helping us tell a story that deserves to be told.
