The Same Storm— which had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival last year — “explores the necessity of human connection, family, love and the ability to find empathy during a fraught, untenable time,” per an official synopsis.
“We are not all in the same boat,” a message reads onscreen at the end of the trailer. “We are all in the same storm.”
Writer/director Peter Hedges, who previously wrote 1993’sWhat’s Eating Gilbert Grapeand directed 2018’sBen Is Back,told Deadlinelast September about working with so many stars while the world was shut down due to the pandemic.
“It almost felt like, it’s a terrible metaphor, but like race horses who haven’t gotten to run for a while and so you know in some sense you just open the gate and off they went,” he said at the time. “I was so moved to a person from what they brought, and one of the shocking things that of course you realize, and you may forget when you’re watching the movie, is they may be in a deep emotional moment or a really kind of surprising human moment and then you realize they’re holding their own camera, you know what I mean?”
