“Everything’s Going to be Great” is a funny and sad valentine to big dreamers whose dreams won’t necessarily come true. It’s about individuality vs conformity. It’s about fantasy vs reality. But mostly it’s about family, as it follows a year in the life of a family struggling with defining success, ghosts, identity, and regional theatre. Lester Smart (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) has always felt his life was headed in one direction....the theater. And he will sing and dance whatever number he needs to do to be center stage.

Jon S. Baird is directing the drama from a screenplay written by Steven Rogers. Baird has previously directed Stan & Ollie and Stonehouse TV Series. He has also directed the upcoming Apple TV+ Original movie, Tetris, which will release on March 31, 2023.

“Everything’s Going to be Great” will begin filming on April 21 in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, and will officially wrap up on May 25, 2023.

As mentioned earlier, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is known for voicing the titular character of Pinocchio in Disney's movie, which also stars Tom Hanks. Ainsworth has also appeared in Son of a Critch, The Sandman, Flora & Ulysses, and The Haunting of Bly Manor in a significant role.
