CURRENT FILMS:
MY GRANDMOTHER’S SKETCHBOOK [2025]
"My Grandmother's Sketchbook" is a documentary short showcasing the creative persistence and grit of filmmaker Max Romey as he retraces the footsteps of his late grandmother, Lucretia Leonard Romey. Lucretia was an award-winning artist, and Max embarks on a journey to find the specific locations captured in her sketchbook from over 50 years ago.
This short film about forever unfolds from the POVs of father (Max Romey) and son (Kip) as they attempt to write a book about what forever means. The father feels overwhelmed by all of the threats to forever, like forever chemicals, and calls an unlikely hero – Mark Ruffalo – to ask for help seeing the big picture.
