I came back to the city I thought I knew — Los Angeles. My only savior became a tape recorder. Click. Start. Red light glow. Using short ends of 16mm, I went out with my DP while the streets were empty, and tried to capture the lonely beauty in five days time. In turn, I found myself. Here is my love letter to the place I can’t seem to shake.
Blending intimate voice-over with the fractured memories of a 1970s folksinger, IN THE EVER follows Sam Ellis, a mechanic, whose songs written for his dead mother become a surprise hit. Unable to cope with fame, Sam retreats to a desert ranch, where an unexpected love affair forces him to confront his pain in order to move forward. The film is a love letter infused in music. With 70s needle drops, an original score by Sonny Luca, and original music by lead actor and co-writer/director C.M. Sutton, watching IN THE EVER feels like listening to a complete album.
