Director Statement

Fifteen years ago, we introduced Gary & Celeste to the world in the short DREAMTIME, during one crucial night that affects the rest of their lives. Their story—teens who became step siblings (but had a previous romantic connection)—ended on a cliffhanger.

Ten years ago, we continued their story in the short WITHOUT WORDS—when the characters aired their souls after half a decade apart. They finally got together, but their story was still unfinished.

After both films were featured in multiple festivals, we had to wait—letting time dictate what came next. As we both navigated a lot of difficult life situations, from failing relationships and Complex PTSD to chronic and terminal illnesses, we decided to impart our own experiences with lovers, friends, and the ever-intricate complexities of family onto Gary & Celeste’s unique journey.

With ALL OF IT, we’re thrilled to expand on Gary & Celeste’s story as past and present threads collide. Our previous short films DREAMTIME and WITHOUT WORDS interweave as flashbacks throughout a present day storyline that challenges Gary & Celeste’s relationship and family and earnestly asks – through highs and lows of life – career, postpartum, friendships, and unexpected loss – through all of it – can the spark survive?

Our film is about holding onto hope, humor and love while still holding space for the heartbreak—stepping out of the binary and embracing both the light and the dark. We deeply appreciate your consideration.
