Character actor Jason Mewes struggles to gain legitimacy as an actor, as he has been typecast for decades with Kevin Smith as Jay and Silent Bob in the latter's View Askewniverse films. He decides to try method acting to reinvent himself, but it has negative effects on his sanity after he accidentally kills a director.
In May 2019, Cinedigm acquired North American rights to Madness in the Method. The distributor released the film on August 2 in a day-and-date platform release in theaters and on digital.[2]
