The cast of Friends have went on to many different projects following the show's end, with varying degrees of success. One of the core group who has managed to carve herself a career behind the camera, as well as in front of it, is Courteney Cox.

Back in 2014, 10 years after the Friends finale, and a very successful turn in the Scream franchise, Cox went behind the camera for a little seen dramedy called Just Before I go.

The movie stars Sean William Scott as a man who descends into a deep depression after his wife leaves him for somebody else. After he decides he's had enough of this life, he plans to commit suicide, but only after he goes back to his home town to tie up a few loose ends.

The movie was Cox's second stint in the directors chair, after her debut with TV Movie TalhotBlond. It's a really decent, if somewhat predictable, dark dramedy, and it'd be good to see her step behind the camera another time.
