Seek Films’ “All of Me,” Premiered at Cannes Marché du Film 2017

Seek Films’ “All of Me,” a short film by director Daphne Schmon, premiered at Cannes Marché du Film 2017. The film, created by an all female team, was selected as one of the “best of Cannes shorts to screen” by Creative Market Group. Director Schmon, along with writer Emily Carlton, producer Jemma Moore and editor Philippa Carson were in attendance.

“All of Me” is the story of a talented, genderqueer musician named Viv, played by British actress Chereen Buckley. In the story, Viv faces late stage leukemia that threatens the life she’s built. Her best hope is a bone marrow transplant from a member of her estranged family, but reconnecting means confronting a difficult past.

 “All of Me” marks Daphne Schmon’s narrative directorial debut. The award-winning director and editor founded Seek Films in 2009 after graduating with honors from Wesleyan University. Her feature directorial debut “Children of the Wind,” garnered seven awards in the festival circuit, including “Best Documentary” and “Best Emerging Filmmaker” at the world’s premiere action sports film festival X-Dance. The film was also nominated for the “CNN Best Documentary Award” at the American Black Film Festival. She has led teams in nine countries, including Kenya (“Shifting Ground” and  Venezuela “Down to Earth,” directing documentaries, commercials and music videos.
