Sara Bareilles and Josh Alexander Premiere 'Good Grief' Documentary at Tribeca

Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles and director Josh Alexander have collaborated on a project centering on the theme of loss. The documentary, titled “Sara Bareilles: Good Grief,” is having its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film serves as a companion to an album written by Bareilles that explores similar emotional territory.

In titling the album “Good Grief,” Bareilles is playing with the wording of a common phrase. The artist aims to make the expression feel literal rather than like an oxymoron. This approach to the title reflects the intent to find meaning and musical magic within the context of loss.

The project highlights the creative process behind turning personal experiences into art. By focusing on the specific wording of the title, Bareilles and Alexander look to redefine the concept of grief for the audience. The documentary and the album both seek to translate these themes into a tangible form.
