Our Pitch Video
The Last Goodnight is a powerful short film about love, loss, and the final moments that define us. Set in a bedroom at night, it follows Mark and Olivia—married for twenty years—as they face their last night together. Mark is terminally ill, and Olivia refuses to leave his side. Their story is not just about grief, but about revisiting a lifetime of memories, humor, heartbreak, and devotion. This film is for anyone who has loved deeply, lost deeply, or stood beside someone in their final chapter. By supporting this project, you help us bring a small, intimate story to life—one that aims to comfort, connect, and resonate with audiences who have faced similar moments.
Pancreatic cancer research is deeply important to me as the director of The Last Goodnight. This story exists to honor those who fight, those we’ve lost, and the urgent need for progress. All proceeds from the premiere will be donated to pancreatic cancer research, so your support will make a real impact beyond the film itself.
