LOVE ALWAYS, MOM is a film that speaks to anyone and everyone with a dream and inspires us to never give up. Written, produced, and directed by Trish Gonnella Russo and Craig E. Shapiro. This film could not have been created without the generous support of many Los Angeles natives. Filmed over the course of 3 years and featuring the work of Angeleos: Alex Flores (music supervisor), Bryan Senti (composer), Leandra Dichirico (sound recordist). Some scenes filmed in Los Angeles and the film was workshopped at Soho House West Hollywood in the past. We took the notes and ran. If you attended the workshop cut this is a very different film! After a film festival run, were excited to return to share the finished film and to raise funds for cancer research and a family building grant!
In 2018 LOVE ALWAYS, MOM won the Audience Award at its World Premiere at Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival and Best Documentary at the Catalina Film Festival. In 2019 it has thus far won Best Documentary awards at both of the film festivals it played: Nevada Women's Film Festival in Las Vegas and the Maryland International Film Festival. It has also been an official selection of DTLA Film Festival in Los Angeles and the Silicon Valley International Film Festival in San Francisco.
It tells the tale of a stage 4 cancer survivor and her husband's controversial decision to have a child using an egg donor and a surrogate. With laughter and tears, we witness a mothers love letter to her unborn child and a never before seen look into cancer and infertility.
The Echo Park screening will benefit the 501(c)3 non-profit Trish created to fund the film and the 2019 screening tour, The Cyan Gray Hope Foundation. Proceeds beyond the film and screening tour will benefit cancer research and a grant to give support annually to a cancer survivor to build a family. Arrivals & wine served between 7:30-8 PM. The film will roll starting 8 PM and runs 95 minutes. 9:30-10:30 PM we'll taste One Hope wines and have a q&a discussion/woman hang. Men are more than welcome to join too.
After this Los Angeles screening, LOVE ALWAYS MOM will screen in Redwood City, CA on Monday, 5/13. Check out www.cyangray.org for trailer and links to tix.
