ALL TOGETHER NOW
Maximus Jenkins delivers a twisted tale in the indie horror ALL TOGETHER NOW. A clever bait-and-switch, the film opens in a very meta way, with aspiring filmmaker Lincoln hitting it big following a festival screening. Real-world success gets complicated when the lines between his creation and trauma quickly blur. 
This is the epitome of great indie filmmaking. Every aspect is genuinely impressive. Kaleb Manske‘s editing is jarring as hell, earning honest-to-goodness jump scares. The dynamic focus is incredibly effective. The soundtrack is fantastic. I’m obsessed with the repeated use of the “Always Forever ” track.
Alex Nimrod has a presence that reminds me of a cross between a young Matthew Broderick and bonafide Scream King, Justin Long. The camera loves him. He gives Lincoln charming discomfort at first. Nimrod has the chance to show his acting chops through through the subtle building of creepiness throughout the film. Lincoln’s perception of reality is thoroughly warped, sending the audience into a tailspin alongside him. Nimrod, who also pens the screenplay, goes there and never hesitates. A particular bathroom scene, one that would give any script supervisor a heart attack, is award-worthy. 
ALL ALONE TOGETHER is a physical manifestation of unresolved trauma and suicidal ideation. The film is an undeniably slick piece of psychological horror. While it’s a deliberately dark journey down the rabbit hole and straight into hell, it’s also a sharp commentary about art as therapy.
All Alone Together Teaser Trailer:
ALL ALONE TOGETHER is now on VOD from Ethos Releasing
ALL ALONE TOGETHER is the debut feature film from 4085 Productions, a student-run production company that began during the COVID-19 pandemic when four Los Angeles college students decided to combat their isolation through the art of filmmaking.
Their first film made waves at Panic Fest, Popcorn Frights, and the Chicago Horror Film Festival, with Morbidly Beautiful raving, “Creative, engrossing, smartly scripted, and masterfully executed on a shoestring budget, ALL ALONE TOGETHER is meta-movie magic at its best.”
As a tormented filmmaker reaches new levels of success, the horrors of his film start to creep into his life. This shocking creepfest is at once a harrowing psychodrama of a broken man spiraling into paranoia, trauma, and guilt – all of which manifests as a monstrous entity – while also presenting a fascinating reflection on the cathartic power of filmmaking itself.
