From coast to coast, celebrating with the people we love the most! Thank you to our California and South Carolina families for surrounding us with so much love these last few weeks— it’s so special to share these moments with you all. 284 days until I do! 🤍💍

In 2026 New Mexico, two estranged brothers cross the country in a decrepit ice cream truck, racing to reach their sister before the birth of her child as secrets and old betrayals reemerge. What begins as a reluctant road trip becomes a journey of forgiveness, love and confronting mortality.

Proudly made entirely by humans.

Introducing another one of our producers:
@benjaminjamesnestor !

Currently pursuing an MFA in Film and Television Production at USC School of Cinematic Arts, Benjamin has been on several projects in various production roles, and has cemented his future in being a Producer. He has worked as a producer on several projects, including 5 thesis films, Perennials, Bug, You Look Like You’ve Seen A Ghost, Avant-Garde, and Symptoms of a Life. Benjamin has also completed filming of the indie feature, Anything for Something written and directed by fellow USC student Chae Talley which will be making its festival run in 2026. Benjamin transferred to Case Western Reserve University from Sacramento State and continued his studies in Marketing while his new interest in Film came along. He became one of the first students at his university to be accepted into the USC School of Cinematic Arts Film and Television MFA program. Since his arrival at USC, Benjamin has engrossed himself in a variety of projects ranging across all genres, but he has always maintained a focus on pursuing projects that inspire change in a truly transformative way. Benjamin is of the opposing belief that “life isn’t like it is in movies,” and fights every day to prove that life is indeed worthy of cinematic excellence.

An emotional homecoming to @usccinema for the First Look Awards last night. Endlessly grateful to have told these stories. It’s what I’ve enjoyed most in life since I was a literal child, Sony VHS Handicam in hand, and the goal remains to never stop creating with kind and talented friends, onward ever, amen namaste 🎥
