In early 2019, director Alma Har'el and Shia LaBeouf debuted `Honey Boy` at the Sundance Film Festival. Premiering to critical acclaim, the autobiographical coming-of-age drama, based on LaBeouf's troubled childhood, ignited a close relationship between the filmmaker and the actor, who had been largely shunned by many in the industry for his erratic behavior.

Despite his well-documented checkered past of substance abuse and a string of legal woes, Har'el stood by LaBeouf's side, frequently referencing the actor's growth and journey through recovery, as he struggled with real-life issues and deep-rooted trauma.

With compassion for those suffering with addiction and mental health issues, Har'el applauded his transformation, especially with `Honey Boy` being a form of therapy for LaBeouf, who wrote the script in court-ordered rehab. The film garnered considerable Oscar buzz and earned Har'el a DGA Award for directing her first feature film.
