Spirit of Massachusetts screened WoodsHoleFilmFestival Festival on August 1st — 300 people packed the house. 🎬
Seeing it on the big screen for the first time was incredible, especially for our DP Ken Willinger causenthe anamorphic lenses are made for a screen that size. The wider aspect ratio, the subtle flares, the depth of field and all the texture that gets lost on a phone screen finally showed up the way it was meant to.
This was also the first time most of our cast and crew saw the finished film together, which made it even more special. Kyle Gregory Alecia Orsini
So grateful to everyone who came out to support us. The cast, crew, families, and friends who filled that theater, and to Alecia for organizing a pre-screening gathering so we could all connect beforehand.
Two moms, our kids, one unforgettable night in Woods Hole. 💙

Late Fall Film is heading to Buffalo.
Official Selection — Valkyrie International Film Festival, August 7-11. Our New York premiere.
This is Sophia. She's the stranger who walks into the story and changes everything. Shot on the rooftop of the Double Tree Hotel in Allston against the Boston skyline, this scene is where everything shifts. It is where Tina and Danny, two new parents caught under the weight of early parenthood, finally see what they have. What Sophia doesn't. Love. Family. Each other.
Amanda Kuo brought Sophia to life with a presence that is magnetic and mysterious. And our costume designer Féliz TheStylist turned her into something truly magical. Every detail intentional and every choice adding to the mystique of this character.
There's something that feels right about landing at Valkyrie Film Festival. It's a festival run by a mother and daughter team dedicated to uplifting women directors. Two moms made this film. I wrote, co-directed, produced, and acted in it and cast my own son as the toddler. My co-director Alecia Orsini was by my side as a mother throughout the whole journey. Being accepted by a mother who is building something with her daughter, while I built this film with my son, is special.
We can't wait to see it on screen in Buffalo.
Screening August 7-11 at Valkyrie International Film Festival. Details to come on exact date and time.
Co-Director: Alecia Orsini
DP: Ken Willinger
Editor: Cecilia Préstamo

The opening scene of Late Fall.
A film about the beautiful, exhausting reality of early parenthood, the love, the tension, the miscommunications, the laundry, all at once.
Late Fall follows two new parents navigating the modern realities of raising a toddler. Misaligned under the pressure of it all, each struggling to see the other, until a stranger enters their lives and changes everything.
If you're a new parent, considering becoming one, or looking back on those years......this film is for you.
Screening August 1 at Woods Hole Film Festival Falmouth Academy Simon Center, 5 PM, Spirit of Massachusetts block.
Tickets on sale July 1. Links in comments.
With gratitude to our incredible team Alecia Orsini Kyle Gregory Ken Willinger Féliz TheStylist Miriam Olken Victoria Hersey James Woodbury Scott Lebeda @
Behind every submission is hours of research. Reading about festivals, understanding their audiences, thinking carefully about where Late Fall belongs and why.
Then writing the letters. Signing them. Stamping them. Slipping in a photo from the film. Walking them to the mailbox.
This film was made by a team of New England professionals who gave everything to a story they believed in. Crew members who showed up early and stayed late. A cast who brought these characters to life. People who could have been anywhere else and chose with us in the set of Late Fall Film
Every late night I spend getting this film in front of programmers and audiences is my thank you to them.
We are going to bring this film to as many festivals and as many audiences as we can. That's what they deserve. This is how I thank everyone who showed up for this film.

We're going to Woods Hole Film Festival
Late Fall Film is an official selection of Woods Hole Film Festival. We screen Aug 1st at 5pm in the Spirit of Massachusetts block.
This image is from one of my favorite scenes in the film. We shot it at Mary O'Malley Park in Chelsea — a Boston beach. My toddler was losing it on set, so I sat down next to my lead actor Kyle Gregory and breastfed my son right there in front of the cast and crew to calm him down.
And then the magic happened.
Kyle improvised around whatever Leander was doing. Our DP Ken Willinger kept rolling and caught everything. Our editor Cecilia Prestamo took that unscripted footage and built one of the best scenes in the film. The scene is where Danny, a new father who has been struggling to show up, finally finds a way to connect with his son.
This is what it looks like when an incredible cast and crew just rolls with it.
Co-directed with Alecia Orsini
📍 Filmed in Chelsea, Massachusetts
