Experiencing Interruptions?

All Through The Night

It’s the night before his father, a retired choir conductor with Alzheimer’s (TIM DALY of "Madam Secretary" and "The Sopranos"), moves into a long-term clinic, and Neil Kelly (LUKE SLATTERY of "Boys in the Boat" and "New Amsterdam") is determined to stir his dad’s memory while facing his own.

Over the course of the night, Neil goes down a rabbit hole of chamber music, adolescent awkwardness, and inextricable fears.

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT is a psychological father/son drama about how we process our memories, and the way they can manipulate, empower and haunt us.

Director Biography - Graham Marvin

Graham grew up in Lexington, a small suburb of Boston, and majored in Film/TV at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. He graduated with honors and a psychological horror thesis short, "Guard," which screened at local festivals.

After college, Graham worked his way up the production assistant ladder, and eventually contributed as a second unit director on Netflix’s “Seven Seconds", USA’s “Falling Water”, and ABC’s “The Family.” He also produced all the Season 1 Waystar news segments for HBO’s “Succession."

In his time away from large shows, Graham has served on the board of a nonprofit summer camp. Overseeing 100+ cast/crew/contributors from all over the world, he created, directed, and produced a virtual campfire series in the summer of 2020 (replacing the in-person camp season because of Covid).

Graham is now excited to be jumping into the next chapter of his creative career, and focusing on writing & directing the stories that matter most to him.

Director Statement

That euphoric rush when a movie affects you to the core....I don't think there could be a better medium to uplift, scare, share, enlighten and unite. It's magic. And with that magic comes an opportunity to explore under-seen topics like Alzheimer's disease.

By 2050, it's estimated that 12.7 million people age 65+ will have Alzheimer's disease, up from 6.2 million in 2021. These sobering numbers come from the Alzheimer's Association, which we were honored to work with on this project. Monica Moreno (Senior Director) and Jen Wirth (Media Specialist) really responded to the script and were generous enough to offer their time as well as that of Joe Montminy's, an Alzheimer's patient advocate who was diagnosed with early onset a few years ago. With their guidance and support (in addition to that of representatives of The Judy Fund, Mount Carmel Neuorology, and the NYU Alzheimer's Disease Center), we are proud to present an authentic look at the disease and those that it affects -- from patient to caregivers.

What drew me to THIS story in particular? That mystical connection between memory and music. It has been a challenging but rewarding meta-creative dream to work with my father, who arranged the choral pieces for the film, and is the man that "Alexander" is loosely based on. I grew up watching him compose and conduct. Though I never would have admitted it years ago, I have always wanted to make a movie about him and his art. As it relates to memory, the father/son relationship IS music to me -- the melody may transcend time and remain constant, but the meaning and effect is ever-changing.

DON'T CONTROL. LISTEN. As the metronome of time marches on, we must learn to accept who we are, who our parents are, and how those identities are boundlessly linked.
