First time producer Adriana Marchione brings a stunning portrait of her personal story and helps us venture into melancholy as well as the joy and reverence that accompanies loss.
"When the Fall Comes" was initiated by Marchione in response to her struggle with grief after the loss of her husband in June of 2007. She documented dreams, memories and created poetry about her experiences for over five years, which then culminated into the performance of the same name, "When the Fall Comes." By teaming up with director Wyatt Roy and director of photography Michael Brandt, Marchione was able to craft a film that brings us into a compelling story of loss and renewal. In addition to the strong imagery of "When the Fall Comes," a tapestry of dialogue inquires into the nature of grief and directly shows us how art can be an alternate source of healing. A variety of perspectives are incorporated into the film narrative from Marchione herself, psychotherapist Dietmar Brinkmann and her current partner, Mitch Ryder.
The films aims to honor and connect to people who have lost a significant other or loved one. It demonstrates that the arts can allow complicated feelings and experiences resulting from grief to be expressed, as well as provide opportunities to come together around the topic of loss.
