Logline: The day after his cat dies, Howard considers moving out of his apartment that he shares with his abusive and codependent roommate.

Production Overview: In late 2020, Weinstein and Feder took the lessons they learned producing the minimalist Shiva to a more comedic premise. Still produced with COVID-related limitations on personnel, Howard represents another step forward for raw daisies in terms of writing, cinematography and acting. In this film, the uncertainty of an agoraphobic young man acts as a stand-in for the uncertainty rampant during the latter half of 2020.
