EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE | 1:40:34 mins
2011, Canada, directed by Tracy D. Smith

As Rose (Gabrielle Rose, The Sweet Hereafter) demonstrates early signs of dementia, she begins to form a special bond with Ben (Sean Michael Kyer), her bullied grandson. In the midst of her declining condition, her son Noah (Ryan Robbins, Sanctuary) deals with his own problems culminating with a tragic encounter. Everything and Everyone is love, laughter, loss and everything in between. Also featuring Chelah Horsdal and Chad Willett.

Vancouver International Film Festival
"As we get to know Noah and Rose, we meet a memorable set of interconnected friends and family members also facing pivotal moments of change and challenge in their lives. Themes of love, loss, laughter and acceptance all intertwine within this impressive first feature script from Ian Tang. A compelling story and Smith's skilled, sensitive direction allow the stellar cast to shine as a variety of relationships are explored, including a heartbreaking love story and a magical grandma-and-grandson dynamic between Gabrielle Rose and Sean Michael Kyer's well-crafted characters."
