The Film:

“A Party to Remember” is a feature-length film written by Grant Calendrille. It is an intimate, emotionally charged feature film set over the course of a single night.

One party. One night. Two people who were never quite over each other — and a past that neither of them remembers the same way.

This film explores young adults finding identity and romantic relationships in today’s complicated world. It’s about how our memories of events are rewritten over time and the regrets that stem from our fragile recollection. The version of the past we carry shapes the decisions we make today.

Plot:

Everyone is looking for a fresh start at a house party. Two people who never quite defined what they were to each other-cross paths. Old memories start surfacing and neither of them can quite agree on how the story goes, as the party unravels into chaos.

Why this film matters?:

Everyone has a version of their past they carry with them.

Whether you have replayed a relationship in your head, wondered “what really happened?” or struggled to let go of a version of the past, this film will resonate with you.

A Letter from Grant:

Thank you so much for considering donating to make this project happen. It means the world to me.

There are a lot of amazing people working to create this film and creating something we are all proud to put our names on.

And, if you are able to give, you would be instrumental in bringing this art to life.

The film industry and Hollywood is constantly changing. Films are made, distributed and viewed differently now than at any other time. By bringing people together to support independent filmmaking we can tell stories that connect with people.

I cannot wait for this to be released and for you all to enjoy not only my personal art, but an amazing film made by amazing people!

I am so grateful to you all.

With love,

Grant Calendrille
