Trailer:
What do we do when our own family seems to be the obstacle in the way of our taking care of them?Becca and Cal confront this paradox in The Loved and Lost, a family adventure drama about Becca, a formerly promising designer turned homemaker, struggling to find meaning in motherhood in the wake of an abandoned career. Her husband Cal is a carpenter whose clientele has dried up, creating an urgent financial crisis for the family. As Becca and Cal each attempt to take matters into their own hands, their children fall between the cracks and become lost.
Compared by test screeners to A Marriage Story and Minari, The Loved and Lost explores the dynamics of young families, middle-class poverty, and traditional gender roles through a raw and personal lens. Full of subtle spiritual symbolism, this film invites families and individuals of all ages to contemplate the meaning of our journey on earth.

A re-contextualized telling of the Cain and Abel story, positioned to reach religious and secular audiences alike. Three people find refuge from a warring world near a hidden spring on a mountain meadow: Casey, his brother Ian, and Ian’s pregnant wife, Mara, who Casey secretly loves.
​
In his loneliness, Casey explores too far down the mountain and discovers a camp of thirsty, militant settlers. Their leader, an older woman named Annie, provides Casey with food and human connection, but wants Casey’s help finding water in return. In order to preserve the benefits of both camps, Casey begins living a double life.
As the story escalates, Casey’s decisions lead him down a path of secrecy that erodes his character and his family’s safety. As Annie pieces together Casey’s fragmented story, she leads him to believe that his brother Ian is to blame for his loneliness. In his resentment, Casey ignites a situation that flares out of his control and risks destroying that which he loves most. A powerful and gripping story that illustrates the purpose of sacrifice over selfishness in all relationships.
